JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" debuted at No. 1 last weekend, animal groups had a message for parents, suggesting they not give in to the pressure to run out get a Chihuahua for their kids.

New Movie Puts Chihuahuas In High Demand

The Humane Society said it is expecting an increase in the number of people look for chic based on the new movie, but said it warns that a Chihuahua might not be the best idea for every family.

Mojo, a 1-year-old Chihuahua, is a prime example of what happens when a family can't take care of its pet. The pint-size pup ended up at the Humane Society looking for a new home.

"He's so cute. He's so tiny, little and shaky. He's precious," said Katrina Omaga, who was with her family at the Humane Society on Monday.

Although, Omaga said she wasn't looking for any specific breed, she admitted Mojo is one cute pooch.

"I'm not in particular about a specific dog. I just figure once we come and look, one will jump out at us and that's the one," Omaga said.

One look at Mojo and the Omagas were hooked. However, the little guy already has a family ready and waiting to take him home.

The Humane Society said "Beverly Hills Chihuahaua" has people on the lookout for dogs like Mojo, but it takes a special family to care for a Chihuahua.

"They can be a little high strung. They can tend to be barkers … and that can be aggravating and not something you are expecting," said one Humane Society representative.

Chihuahua's can also be very protective and they often latch onto one person in the family.

The Omagas said there's a lot to consider when picking out a pet, like how it will be cared for and whether there's time to take it out for walks. They said bringing a new addition into the family was no easy decision.

"I think you have to research it and see if it's the right fit for your family," said Omaga.

The Humane Society helps families match their personalities to a specific type of dog. After the adoption, workers meet with the family to make sure things are going smoothly. If the family decides the pet is not working for them, the Humane Society will take the pet back and put it up for adoption again.
