So many dogs like this little one never make it out of the shelter because they each need someone to look at them as an individual and give them the treatment they need. Some dogs need space and time, some dogs need to know their fear won’t push someone away. It’s a huge task!
Yup; It sure does!
Indeed! I have a chi like this. Adopted her when she was four. She's fourteen now. Obviously, she has made improvements, but still skittish and still bites others. She chose me as her "one" human and has never/will not ever bite me, but continues to bite my husband impulsively. We accept her. She has had other dogs to help her along here at home and we simply give her the best life we can. She's never been alone and I'm always at home. I think despite her nervousness, she knows deep in her heart that she is loved ❤️ ( you would think by now 🤷♀️ )
Where is she my wife and I would love to take her in.
Your post shows you really understand our precious little ones...🌻👍
@@peace-and-quiet Yep you just gotta meet them where they are, sometimes...sounds like you've helped her live her best life! God bless you and your hubs for that. Nice thing about small dogs is that even when they've got problematic behaviors, you can manage them because they're little guys. My rotten little baby (not a chi) was an angry little biter but usually only with MOM & DAD! HAHAHA With everyone else, acted like a little angel. Brat! But we knew how to handle her. She was only a menace at home, and a small one.
lucille : *bites*
the foster mom : *pets her belly*
lucille : i have reconsidered my decision
Lol that moment was adorable
She like (oh thats the spot yea)
🤣
She be like "You got 30 minutes to stop that !"
😂
I adopted a severely abused Chi, it took almost 2 months before he trusted me enough to let me touch him. I used the 3 ingredients to gain his trust….time, patience and a ton of love. When the breakthrough came he turned into my teddy bear. I loved him so much ❤️. He passed in my arms at age 16 covered in my tears.
❤
Unconditional love means unconditional sacrifice. We will always move heaven and Earth to protect them ❤️❤️💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💘💝💖💗💓💓💕♥️♥️❤️🩹💔❤️🔥🐕🐈🐱🐶
❤❤❤
You are a very special person to help this little dog trust people again.
👍🥰😀
Feral. This dog *never* trusted people. Assuming it isn't clickbait flavor text, those belly rubs should have been the *first* time she trusted people.
He really like It!
Amen. That says it all.
Indeed she is! 💚💙💜
She reminds me of my little girl. A scared Chihuahua who just melted when you loved her.
She was so cute getting pet with her scared face 🤗😃❤🧡
❤️ love always works... sooner or later!
I have a little one just like her. I rescued her at 3 months old and she’s almost 10 years old now. My best friend for sure.
Thank you so much for saving your best friend!
Oh gosh...she looks exactly like my very first Chihuahua, Blu. He was 18 when he passed away. Blu's legs were much shorter and his coat, although short, was very thick...but his marking were the same as this sweet girl. I would have people ask me what Blu was...I would say he was a toy Shepherd. They always responded the same...I never knew there were toy Shepherds...I would laugh and then tell them he was a Chihuahua. I'm addicted to Chihuahuas now, and have 2 little rescues...my little velcro dogs. Love em so much.
TOY SHEPHERD!! That's hilarious. Velcro chi's are the BEST!
I agree with you! I tell people my dog is a toy shepherd too. And my chihuahua that passed at 17, a toy Doberman, same color as this chihuahua. Chihuahuas are the best.
Hello how are you?
When I’m the only one around I have 2 Velcro chis, but if anyone else shows up one of my girls has absolutely no loyalty. She loves everyone. She would literally hop into the UPS truck if the driver told her to 😁. She actually enjoys going to the vet because they spoil her ❤️
Her cautious face 🤣🤣🤣 giving you the side eye like she was plotting your murder 😆
Very cute ending! So glad she gained trust and seems so happy and relaxed! Definitely will live a longer happier life without so much stress and worry!
My dog does the same exact thing!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ikr!
Chihuahuas are often anxious little dogs, and biters. Yes, they get a bad rap in shelters for that reason.
But there’s no “bad” chihuahua imo. They just need patience & kindness. They will bond very strongly to their “trusted” people.
Anyway, that’s my take as a chihuahua owner & chihuahua rescue operator. ♥️
All true. Animal control said mine snapped at them when they rescued him. Honestly I cannot imagine this at all, has NEVER snapped at anyone in the 7yrs since!! But yes, they are fearful and anxious and can be tricky at first. But oh my yes, they bond more than any dog breed I've ever had. I'm inseparable from mine now. Wonderful breed. I'm a total convert.
There's no such thing as a "bad" dog in general. They're either feral, raised wrong, abused or have some mental illness they can't help. Also just being scared and unsure makes things hard for them.
I saw once someone say ”imagine you're naked in a strange place where people talk to you in a language you don't understand. Now imagine they just wanna touch and play with you and drag you out of your comfort zone. Now you know at least a little bit about what being a dog is like."
It makes me a bit sad how dogs have evolved alongside us as our partners yet most people don't even understand them. It's really not that hard. You may not be able to talk with them and pinpoint their problems easily but it sure isn't hard to notice a problem and help to fix it with them.
@Jon Bennett Way overbred, I agree. It’s gotten better here in SoCal but I still remember the faces & names of near identical dogs as above that were euthed for space. 😪
@@aurelielagrange2173 wow so the chi over breeding has actually gotten better in socal? I thought it may have gotten worse during the pandemic & everyone being at home more wanting more dogs. I sure hope it has gotten better though! So heartbreaking! Thank you for what you do in rescue!!
@@sakitoby1581 Its understandable why they are so fearful since they are so little. Everything looks huge and threatening
What a fantastic job you did bring this cute little bundle out of her schell
@Audiogeek1958: shell* 🤔
"Sometimes you have to go slow in order to go far." Absolutely accurate when it comes to interacting with animals that are fearful. Patience and compassion are everything.
The thing I love about chihuahuas is that they don’t care how small they are, they don’t take crap! Bless your patience with her.
Hello Tracy, how are you doing today?
That last sentence really made me so incredibly happy for Lulu. I'm so glad someone adopted this sweet girl.
Yes, I volunteer for a local rescue that specializes in taking pups like this off of the euthanasia list and gives them a second chance. It is the most amazing and rewarding experience to be able to turn these brave souls around and give them a chance. Thank you for doing what you do and rescuing the unwanted. :)
Hello Karen, how are you doing today?
Hello how are you?
Shows what taking time and having love and patience can bring
She looks like an adorable Eddie Munster.
Thank you for helping these these animals they do need help and you talked to him so thank you
Hello Teresa, how are you doing today?
I think the Dodo needs to post more videos like this. This is a little closer to the reality of rescue work. Most of the videos I see show rescued dogs that immediately turn into loving cuddle bugs with the fosters or rescuers. That certainly hasn’t been my experience w a rescue chihuahua that I’ve had for 8 months. He’s a fear biter too. He’s still a work in progress but has made great improvement in the time I’ve had him.
Hello how are you?
Thank you for your patience & working with her. Unfortunate she needs to learn love & comfort. She looks like she is getting there with those sweet belly rubs🐾❤️🐾❤️
Hello Sandy, how are you doing today?
there’s a reason why belly rubs are the ultimate doggie pacifier
@@khamjaninja. Thank you for the lesson in dog behavior. I’ll take this to heart whenever I get my next dog.
@@electrobuster5483 I'd like to emphasize, as someone who does behavior modification in rehabilitating abused and neglected dogs, that the last thing he said about "putting it into submission" which means forcibly holding your dog down on it's side or back, presumably to teach him who's boss, is one of the worst and most misguided pieces of information that people get. There is no respected trainer in the world that will tell you to do that. There are still other people who advocate for it though, but it's based on non scientific, outdated "dominance theory" belief, and like I said, it's one of the most discouraged practices among respected trainers. Sorry but I have to say something when I see someone giving really bad advice like that. Cheers!
My little chihuahua was dumped outside the humane society building and has been incredibly affectionate and has never been aggressive, very submissive. Belly rubs are the key to their hearts for sure ❤
Thank-you for showing this sweet little lady.
This is why I picked Bastion when I saw him. The shelter worker was trying so hard to convince me he was worth it but I'd already fallen. He wouldn't even make direct eye contact and stood stiff in the corner. There was no warm up and while he didn't have defense issues like this it was still slow progress getting him to trust us. While we could be in the same room. It was so much time quietly setting treats down closer to us and feeding him and letting him around our older dog to see he was safe. A year later he is still skittish but will go on walks, approach new people (one on one) and likes to cuddle up at night. If you have it in you, it is worth the work.
Hello how are you?
Aw what a wonderful pup & her foster mom's the best!
Hello Lily, how are you doing today?
My JackChi was like that when we adopted her, she was found in the streets of Baltimore after someone had tried to kill her by choking her. She is now my baby and a cuddle bug. She also likes belly rubs and to hear people singing lullabies
I just tear up when I read that someone could hurt such a little thing so badly. Like my Mom always said, all is well that ends well.
Reminds me of my doggo, Chuckles. It took him 5+ years, but he eventually became one of the most chill, nonchilaunt dogs in existance
RIP Chuckles. Miss you buddy
"Sometimes you need to go slow in order to go far." Very wise words. Kinda the story of my life right now.
I've been having a horrible day today till I stop to watch this video. You Are A Blessing To Your Dog ! May God Bless You And Your's 💕💖💕
Lulu is just precious! She was so terrified but through perserverance, love and a kind hand she came around! Thank you for taking the time with her! Take care
Thank-You. Bless You. You have given this doggy girl a chance at a happy life from now onwards… Precious Doggy
Only good hearted people are capable of helping the helpless in life. Good job!
So sweet. Bless you for your patience and compassion.
Poor baby girl I’m glad she learned to trust again 🥺❤️🙏🏻
"Somebody's gonna love her so much."
I already do. 💜
Hello Nae, how are you doing today?
I'll take her! I lost my friend of 16 years 3 years ago and I need another beautiful soul like him to take his spot. I never thought I would cry 😭 like a little girl at age 32 when he died.
Early! This is the earliest I’ve been to any video lol and when u tried to clip her nails so was so ferocious but when you were giving her belly rubs she just turned into an upside down statue laying down for belly rubs! She is so adorable!
I once adopted a yorkie like this . I was his 4th home . It took almost a year before he could be fully trusted .
You did a fantastic job, bringing out the sweetness of this little girl. Bravo! She is a beautiful girl, I am glad she found a home❣️
I love Chihuahuas. Had one for 16 and a half years. She was an amazing girl. I miss her terribly. She's been passed on for 4 years. I often visit her gave in my back yard buried next to her cat brother.
The path to heaven is worn smooth with the footsteps of people who have done kindness to dogs.
Thank you for the love shown!
How many people at 2:54 said "I want her"? Glad she got her forever home!!!
Another Poor animal let down by a “human”. They have no idea the impact they have on these blessed animals lives. Thank God for this young lady saving this beautiful little animal.
My current dog was from a shelter. His online picture was of him on his back, presenting his belly for rubbing. I had to go see him and five years later he's here on the couch as I type.
Oh wow, I love Chihuahuas.
You a are such a patient loving person, look at her now she’s interacting beautifully. I’ve learnt that I had to be very patient with animals when I took them in as pets. ❤️🐶❤️
Hello how are you?
@@johnericsson5697 I’m fine thank you John - Greetings (Kia Ora) from New Zealand 🇳🇿👍
@Officer Dibble Thanks for the warning.
Poor Lil girl had never known love. So glad she is in her forever home!
BRAVO, dear Lady, BRAVO! Patience, persistence, practise, practise and more, gentleness - you gave her what she never had - love. What joy you must have felt, when, she flipped over exposing her tummy and you giving tummy rubs - that was a huge step forward! God gave you a patient, loving heart and personality - this tired old world needs a lot more people like you. Big hugs to you!!
Lol I love how she just froze when she got the belly rubs.
Well done thank you for having patients with her and for rescueing her love and God's blessing to you all 🐕🐾🐾♥️
This dog has been through a lot but at least its a happy ending 🥀
She is a beautiful little angle
I taught my feral kitten about belly rubs it reminds me of her. She had that same “transition” look in her eyes like challenging to trust. She’s stoked on the belly rubs now.
What a kind and sweet lady to bring this scared little princess out of her shell and know what love is. And belly rubs too.
My chihuahua hates belly rubs, but she likes butt rubs and eat scratching like a cat 😄
Thank you for talking care of this cutie ❤️❤️❤️
She is so special what a lovin doll
She is cute!
Being a Chihuahua owner , friend, and very fortunate pup lover, my chis all three of them were lovers of attention and gave it all back by a simple act of caring and showing them love by a petting of the belly or just holding them close. Max, RudyBear, and Butkus were the pups that taught me true meaning of showing a pup that he all three can trust myself and my kids. Labs, boxers, vislas, have showed me that a show of caring is all it takes. Chihuahuas are one of the most loyal breeds in the pup world.
"Don't you dare touch m....oh..oh.. feels good.. yeah I love it." 😂🤭🥰
Momyy
That doggy is so cute!
God bless you for never giving up on her! ❤🐾😊
As a chihuahua mama myself I love this ❤
She’s beautiful!!! I love her!!!
Hello Laura, how are you doing today?
The belly rub thing is when your dog finally gave up and submitted. A dog rolled over on its bag is submitting itself to the upper dog.
Thank you for taking time with her and showing her love
Hello how are you?
She looks so much like my baby girl Angie I couldn’t help shedding a few tears. I hope Lucille has a long and happy life. Rip Angie
She is exactly the little girl I am looking for!!!! I would love another chichi to be a sister for the little girl I have at home. If anyone knows of someone giving up a little Chihuahua girl, please respond 💞
I will be looking at the shelters for a rescued girl❣️
Hello Rita, how are you doing today?
I already love this little lady, how could I not?! She is a pure soul, and should only know love. Just like all the other animals out there.
Hello Louise, how are you doing today?
She’s so beautiful amazing . Thank you for saving this Emotional Wee Little. Timidity is a sign of a good sweet person pup.
She is freakin adorable!!
bless you for helping a girl in need. i hope she lives a happy life from now on. xxx
What a good smart foster mama! Truly love these stories. With all the ugliness in America, reminds me there are still good, kind people here😘
A very special person helping a very special little girl.
Good to see her adjust and find a home to boot!
God bless you, you have given this baby a whole new life and a better one than she has ever known. I hope you keep her always.
I love her! I have 2 and they are a complete joy...it took a minute but so worth it.
🥹🥰♥️I adopted a rescue Pomeranian 10 months ago who is also fearful and reactive; she’s the sweetest girl and she is gradually realising that she doesn’t have to fight to be safe anymore❤️🩹
Awesome job rescuing and rehabbing, Lulu and for finding her forever home. Fantastic!! Tfs.
TBH, it never occured to me that a Chihuahua could be ferel... Thanks for the education x
Lol yeah not probable. Fearful and unsocialized sure but not feral.
Beautiful little girl
You are a beautiful and wonderful woman, doing what you do for these creatures. It was amazing to see the change in her eyes once she realised that she was just going to be loved. Well done
The way to a feral doggie's heart is through her tummy! 🐶👍
If only there were a place where wounded/untrusting humans could get this kind of healing love.
Good bless you for helping this sweet little dog not be scared anymore.
That was nice to see. It answers one of my "what if" questions:
1. What if a "shut down" and "spooked" dog was taken out of its comfort zone and gently caressed? Would that work? It has here, thanks. I would have wrapped the dog in a blanket; it might offer more comfort, at first, then hands.
2. What if there were other dogs? The video does not indicate how long the other dogs had been with the new dog. Would the scared dog see how the other dogs felt safe when handled by humans? If there are other dogs then I would not force the dog, I would just make it comfortable for the dog to feed and sleep. In time, in the help of the other dogs, I suspect that the scared dog would "come around" on its own. But I don't know so I am asking you. Thanks.
In my opinion with that first question, forcing a dog out of their comfort zone like this is the wrong thing to do, it just happened to work out with this specific dog. Wrapping her in a blanket probably would’ve actually been worse because she would feel even more trapped. It probably would’ve been better if the woman first let her settle in and then *gradually* start interacting more.
As someone who does behavior modification in rehabilitating abused and neglected dogs for over 10 years, that the way it was shown and implied on this video, that this girl absolutely forced this dog into an even more fearful state by rushing it and pushing things the way she did. It is definitely not the proper way. What she's doing is called "flooding", which means she's overwhelming the dog and she's just lucky that it seems to have worked out in this case. But you're correct in thinking that you need to go at the dog's speed and at their comfort level. I've worked with feral dogs that took months before they even let me hand feed them. You can't force a dog to be comfortable, which is what this girl was trying to do.
Thank you for being patient and giving her the attention and time she needed to trust you. My lil boy chihuahua was a rescue from animal control. The day I met him they told me he was behavioral and To be careful. I sat on the floor at the pound and told the employee to put him down on the floor. He came to me and I picked him up and he cuddled under my neck and just looked at me. I took him home and i have never had a problem with him. He just needed to be shown love. ❤️ He has now been with me for 2 years. And he gets along with my other two dogs. A lil mixed chihuahua female and large mixed breed dog.
You did good! She needed a human like you.
Hello Sherree, how are you doing today?
Your a wonderful fur mama, stay PAWSOME, dogs will need you more than you think!

That Chihuahua had the anger of 10,000 people! So happy she's in her forever home where she will keep receiving lots a belly rubs❤
You are such a kind soul…..she’s adorable…..hopefully she will have a beautiful life❣️
Oh, I need this baby. what a sweetheart. Cute little girl. Thank you for taking care of her and showing her off.
