Rescue Dogs of the Week: Cochet and Irene, the Chihuahua Duo

Cochet, with her mohawk, and Irene, with her sad eyes, are two adult female Chihuahua's that were rescued from a high-kill shelter. These little girls are total sweethearts, but they are incredibly shy upon initial introductions and take some time to warm up. They share an incredible bond and rely on one another for comfort and support, so they must be adopted together. If you're looking for two pint-size sweeties, these are your girls. They are in need of a loving forever home.

Ace of Hearts is a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs—the day they are to be euthanized—from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. It does not take dogs in. It rescues only from shelters. Its adoption days are normally held every Saturday at the West Hollywood Petco at 508 N. Doheny Drive from 1-4 p.m. Click here for information on how to adopt a rescue dog from Ace of Hearts.
