Wiggy & Pancho - Cutie Patootie Chi-whoies

It always breaks our heart when we hear of adored pets who lose their home due to the health of their owners.  It is a tough scenario not only for the owners but for their beloved pets as well.  That is the case with these two adorable little Chihuahua's ... their momma had to go into assisted living and these two were uprooted from the only home they have ever known.

Wiggy is the adorable little black & white 12 y.o. female Chi on the left and Pancho is the 2 y.o. tri-colored male on the right.  Both came to us needing some veterinarian attention.  For Wiggy, we ran a complete senior blood panel (which was all normal) and she had to have a dental so got her teeth cleaned and some teeth extracted.  Pancho needed to be neutered and both were in serious need of an update on shots.  They came through their procedures with flying colors!

These two are as different as they look ... Wiggy is Miss "roll w/the flow" and Pancho is the more nervous, shy type.  We thought originally that they should be adopted together but Pancho is showing, in his foster home, that he likes playing with small dogs his age and now finds ol' Wiggy boring!  =)  Wiggy will meet new people with a happy tail wag where Pancho is more subdued and will meet you on his time frame.  He is starting to play more not only with the dogs of the house but his foster parents as well.

These guys had a huge adjustment to make and we want to think Rob & Julie, their foster parents, for their patience and kindness.  These two would prefer to be in a home where the owner is home a lot of the time but it is not 100% necessary - both are crate trained and guess where they like to sleep?  You got it, under the covers in bed with YOU!  Please let us know if you might be interested in adopting one of these cuties ...





There is another Shelter+ Challenge underway and we sure would appreciate your votes!  We are currently 130th in the Nation (out of 10,000 shelters, not to shabby) and #1 in the state of Montana (which would mean $1,000 to us if we won that category).  Remember, you can vote every day, so please bookmark this page to make it easier to go back every day to vote.  This contest runs through December 19th ... yup, that's lots of voting but it only takes a second and the critters are so appreciative of your time and devotion!

You can vote in the Shelter+ Challenge here.

Please note:  Use Rimrock Humane Society for our name and MT for the state and our listing should come up.

We have been honored to win the most popular shelter in Montana twice now to the tune of $2,000 smackeroos!  This money was applied to our Community Spay/Neuter Program (CSNiP) which, since it's inception in 2006, has assisted with over 975 surgeries for low income families.  So this just proves that every vote counts and this contest is vitally important in helping us continue our ever important programs.  Please help us win this Holiday Shelter+ Challenge by voting every day, and by encouraging your family, friends and colleagues to vote every day, too.  Thank you!
