According to the Associated Press Writer Sue Manning. California has more Chihuahuas than it can handle and Hollywood is to blame…….

Apparently there are so many Chihuahuas in shelters in Oakland, they have started shipping the little pooches out of state. Megan Webb, director of Oakland Animal Services said they have sent 100 Chihuahuas to Washington, Oregon, and Arizona. Hollywood is to blame because fans imitated Chihuahua toting celebrities like Paris Hilton and Miley Cyrus, then abandoned the dogs. According to Dave Frangipane, a senior coordinator for Chihuahua Rescue of Beveryly Hills. A cute puppy can grow up to have adult health problems or become protective and aggressive.
