For many chihuahua owners, there is nothing quite so frightening as to discover that your chihuahua has somehow gotten out of the yard and may be wandering around the neighborhood. Thoughts of accidents cause many pet owners to cringe, and they set out immediately to find their missing pooch. Hours may go by as streets and neighborhoods are searched, and depending on how long you believe your chihuahua has been out of your yard, you have a couple of options.
