Male Dog, Chihuahua
Chihuahua (Short Coat)
Description:
Bug is about 2 years old and is a tiny guy at only 6 pounds. He came into rescue with an injured right front leg that he did not want to use to bear weight and it was extremely swollen. The person who surrendered him claimed that he was bitten by a big dog 2 days before. The vet decided that amputation was Bug's best option because of all the damage to his leg so now Bug is getting used to getting around on 3 legs (and he's doing great!) Bug has had a full vet work up, been neutered and been rabies vaccinated. Bug is very sweet & easy to work with. He allows pets all over and was friendly with everyone although his wound was very painful. Now he is in less pain but dealing with the loss of his leg. We know that once Bug figures out this whole being-a-tripod thing, that he will a lot happier! Bug will be coming to NJ when he has been vetted and he's able to travel. If you are interested in adopting this little boy, please complete an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for BUG TX! The adoption fee for Bug is $425.
