PORTSMOUTH-The Portsmouth Humane Society will receive 20 Chihuahuas to help a California shelter.
"Miley Cyrus" and "Barry White" are among those pups landing?at Norfolk International Airport Thursday night.?
Beginning at noon Friday, the dogs will be available for adoption.?
In a news release, PHS officials said there's a lot of demand for small dogs.
Executive Director Jennifer Austin explained, ?We put a small dog up for adoption and nine times out of ten, he or she is adopted that same day. We get phone calls and people visiting every day looking for small dogs. We are in a position to help our friends at the Pasadena Humane Society and satisfy our potential adopters. It is a win-win situation!?
She noted that California animal shelters are inundated with Chihuahuas while many Virginia animal shelters are inundated with pit bull or bully breed dogs.
Of course, there are many dogs, cats and other animals waiting for forever homes every day at the Portsmouth Humane Society and shelters across Hampton Roads.
Jill Petrosillo, assistant director of the Portsmouth Humane Society, told WVEC.com that adoption costs are $100 for any dog 6 months and up. $200 for any dog 6 months and younger. They are all spayed/neutered, up-to-date on shots and micro-chipped.
