Roving packs of Chihuahuas are running rampant in Arizona
Chihuahuas are on the loose in an Arizona neighborhood and flooding animal control offices with reports of the roaming strays.
Animal control officials say they've had thousands of calls about the tiny terrors running wild, sometimes in packs of 15.
Officials said foreclosures and undocumented workers being forced away led to a large number of small dogs running wild.
”Part of it is these animals aren’t spayed or neutered, so they’re out
looking for a mate and are having babies, which also contributes to the
problem,”
said Melissa Gable with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control.
Chihuahuas are one of the most common breeds found in animal shelters,
according to animal control.
