PASADENA, Calif.- The staff of a California animal shelter says they have video of the truck that dropped off 15 Chihuahuas at their front door.
The diminutive dog pack was found early Friday outside the office of the Pasadena Humane Society with no indication of where they had come from.
The only clues are a monogrammed blanket found in one of the wire crates and surveillance video that shows a white pickup truck stopping at the building shortly before dawn.
KTLA-TV in Los Angeles says the city has a misdemeanor law on the books regarding abandoning dogs that carries a fine.
The dogs will be put up for adoption.
German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County have three chihuahuas for adoption, they will save if at risk and no one else steps up.

Had more but two were adopted.
Ya she is...my best friend...She's spoiled but has no fear.
JRT’s are the best.:)
Shoot, I would say the dogs were lucky to have been left at the door of an animal shelter, rather than somewhere else. Chihuahua’s are very popular with the Hispanics and are often even stolen here in my South Texas town.
Thanks for the pings Joe.
My wife and daughter got us a 4 lb. Chi Dog, when he was very young.
Now years later, I can state without reservation, he is the worst pet ever.
Pisses where he wants, poops where he wants, bites me, etc.
They even paid for a trainer, to teach them how to train the animal. Wasted money.
Next pet, I get to pick.
They’re looking for Taco bell.
Oh, so sorry for your loss. We have two, a 9 yo and one that is probably 3-4; he is not very healthy, so I don’t expect him to live long. The 9 yo is like a pup, wild and crazy. I call him my flying squirrel.
There is something about the little ones and marking territory. We have tried everything. As cute and loving as they are, I probably won’t get another one. I have one that will bite anyone else, but will let us torture him (he is sick, has to get baths, meds, ears scrubbed) without so much as a threatening look. But if the vet looks at him, he turns into the tasmanian chihuahua.
My attack chi snuck out of the yard the other day (the snow had pushed some of the fencing apart, and he can always find those weaknesses) and “terrorized” a neighbor until I got home from work. He almost didn’t want to come home.
Any relation to the early astronaut with the same name?
In today's social environment that is the ultimate stupid, thoughtless, cruel law imagineable.
I volunteer at a local rescue organization, and know for a fact the horrific alternatives to this unenforceable law. A quick and merciful death, if they're lucky, by people who have no business having pets, let alone children.
Vicious little things, aren’t they. If you’re not careful around them, they’ll cute you to death, for sure!! Or at least break your heart, as you must leave them with their owners. [smiles]
I love dogs.
Aww. Couple senior woofers in there. :-(
So you're not too confused, "German Shepherd".
German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County will save a few, hopefully Coastal and Westside German Shepherd Rescues will save a few more.
My sister adapted the sweetest Chi mix this weekend. Remarkable, because it had been physically abused by men in two previous “homes”, but still isn’t afraid of men. In fact, I practically need a crowbar to pry it from my lap.
