Faithful Friends hosts chihuahua adoption event Wed.

Faithful Friends Animal Society is trying to find homes for 13 chihuahuas recently rescued from Phoenix, Arizona.

On Wednesday, from 5-8 p.m., the nonprofit no-kill shelter will hold a special adoption event, "Ay, Chihuahua!" at 12 Germay Dr. in Wilmington. Adoption fees for dogs ages 6 and under are $149 and dogs older than age 6 are $99 each. Check out photos at Faithful Friend's website, faithfulfriends.us.

The dogs came to Faithful Friends after transport to a Pennsylvania shelter fell through, according to a Faithful Friends press release. In all, 20 chihuahuas were transported to Delaware from the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control in Phoenix to avoid euthanasia. The seven remaining dogs are headed to the Delaware Humane Association, another no-kill shelter in Wilmington.
