UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

On August 7th Doogle was neutered. He now has his nails clipped, ears rinsed, is de-wormed, received flea treatement, is vaccinated about everything there is to vaccinate, and he also received heartworm and flea perventions.

There are only 2 things left to get Doogle on his way and that is a) his teeth need to be cleaned badly (which cost about another $100 I do not have) and b) he needs a little bit training and confidence (and I think I can teach him that with the help of my pack, which doesn't cost anything).

Doogle is a young Chihuahua that was thrown over the fence at the local animal shelter along with 3 other dogs. For 2 of those dogs it was too late, they died of starvation and severe parasite infestation.

Doogle weighed only 2.8 lbs when I took him home to foster. He weighs 3.4 lbs now after only 1 week.

From his behavior it is obvious that this dog had to have been confined in a tiny space all his life.

He does not know what a leash is, nor how to walk on carpet, how to behave around other dogs or humans, never seen a car or a cat or had been held in loving arms.

Doogle is also a very timid dog and needs to be socialized to gain some confidence, and I know just the right place for that. Yes, right here at the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue!
