Looking for a Small Dog? Check out Chihuahua Palooza

By Fremont Police

The month of May is declared Chihuahua Palooza, a celebration of small dogs at the Tri-City Animal Shelter.

Fremont will be partnering with several Bay Area shelters to promote Chihuahuas during the entire month of May. The shelter will be offering reduced costs for adoptions and a spay and neuter clinic for both Chihuahua and Chihuahua mixes during the event.

During the entire month of May, adoptions will be FREE for all Chihuahua and Chihuahua mixes under 15 pounds. The City's license fee will be charged to all Fremont residents. The schedule of fee's can be found online at http://www.fremont.gov/index.aspx?NID=893.

Free spay and neuters will be offered to Fremont residents who currently own an unaltered Chihuahua or Chihuahua mix on Friday, May 11. Space is limited and offered on a first come, first serve basis, so make your appointment by calling 510-790-6647 now! Unfortunately, walk-ins will not be accepted for the one day clinic.
