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.

Shouldn't Sheriff Joe be slapping these "illegals" in orange garb and calling the Feds to have them deported?
We have Paris Hilton to thank for all the abandoned Chihuahuas. She started the fad of carrying the poor little things in her bag. Unfortunately, they're living beings, unlike hula hoops or pet rocks.
"Roving packs of chihuahuas?" Quick (or not quick, as it won't matter), someone make a movie, put it into a time machine and send it back to the 1950s.
