More on Gigi:

My name is Gigi and I’ve been waiting over a year to find someone who will love me forever. In late 2018 I was found after being abandoned in a yard full of garbage and debris, completely alone and forced to survive off whatever I could find in the piles of trash. I lived each day praying that someone would come for me and save me, even as I grew hungrier and weaker.

Chewy, chihuahua

Chewy is a sweet male chihuahua dog in the care of ABC (Animals Benefit Club of Arizona, Inc.).

Chewy is a social animal — he'll get along great with other dogs. Chewy is neutered, and he has had all his shots. No need to worry: He is already house-trained.

From Chewy's current caretaker:

Chewy is one of the sweetest guys you’ll ever meet! We had to train him with treats to make him stay on the pillow for the picture, because he wants to be held at all times! Chewy, named after Chewbacca from Star Wars, was found wandering the streets with his friend Yoda – no collar or ID. His nails were so overgrown they curled sideways! We used a nail grinder to slowly file them down and he was happy as a clam. Chewy is good with other dogs, but is equally happy to just curl up in your lap.

Buddy and Bella are proof that two really is better than one! They are the perfect little bonded pair looking for a lap to cuddle on. They both love to play with toys, especially Bella.
