Like the movies 101 Dalmatians and Beethoven before it, the release of Beverly Hills Chihuahua has animal welfare organizations concerned that Chihuahuas will be the next victims of our trend-crazed and impulse-purchase culture—even more than they already are.
Since word of the movie first began to leak out, those in the animal welfare community have been wondering what they can do to slow the rush of Chihuahua-buying surely to follow the movie. So were we at Best Friends.
After careful consideration and a little background research by our A Puppy Store Free LA staff, we discovered that the movie does have a rescue angle. Thats good news! It turns out that the movies main Chihuahua character, Papi, was rescued.
But still—some people will probably want a Chihuahua after seeing the movie, and we hope they dont head to the classified ads in their local paper, to the Internet (unless theyre going to Petfinder) or to a pet store.
Shelters around the country are already bursting with Chihuahuas, particularly in Los Angeles, the very place where the movie takes place. So we put our heads together and came up with ways that we can all spread the word that if youre in the market for a Chihuahua, adopting one is the way to go.

I have a Chihuahua named Miley, I brought her over the internet (It wasn't a puppy mill or anything I went to the breeders house) I could never do anything to hurt her and I think that people who do hurt helpless animals are sick. I had no about about puppy mills or anything till I watched this video. Next time I get a Chihuahua I will go to a shelter. Thank you BestFriendsVideos for posting this!
did you guys know there's a book called "Chihuahuas for Dummies". it explains how to choose the ideal Chihuahua, how to prepare your home for the new arrival, how to manage the puppys nutrition and health, how to prevent common behavior problems, how to teach your Chihuahua fun tricks etc
Great Chihuahua Video! Well done! Did you know there is a new membership site for Chihuahua owners and lovers only? Have a look at my Youtube channel for the link.
Thank you so much for trying to educate the public on the perils of dogs in puppy mills. Our country needs to ban these. Breeders should have to have license and have to maintain very strict standards. People who mistreat animals need much more severe punishment than our government gives them.
omg.. the pics of the breeding factories as well as the rescue places made me cry. If I lived in the US, I'd go there tomorrow and adopt at least one.
This video, is really persuasive. Say, if we humans, had to live in cages with barely anything, maybe even nothing in it, how would we feel? These chihuahuas, not only chihuahuas, all animals, have every right and deserve to live just like us.
