Chihuahua...Update on "Coco"
I usually do not post here, I am mainly in Cat General...but I believe this would belong here.
I need help from whoever! There is a 2 yr old Chihuahua that is going to be brought to a shelter today. This poor dog has been in 5 different homes. The story is this:
My sister's friend took a dog from a friend that couldn't keep him...this dog has been in four previous homes. My sister's friend decided she didn't want him anymore and just opened the door and let him leave. Well, her kids found him and said that they thought he ran away. So, my sister said she would take it to the Animal Welfare League for her. My sister ended up taking the dog to my Aunt's (whom recently lost her yorkie of 12 yrs). She wants to keep him, but is not able to because she is not ready for another dog. My sister shouldn't of brought him there. So, my aunt called me crying and asking me to try to find him a foster home until I am able to find him a fur-ever home. I have to pick him up in an hour. If I do not have a foster home or potential owner by tonight, my sister is picking him up and taking him to the Animal welfare. They are not high kill, but they are not a no kill either. I do not want to see him go to a shelter. I can not foster him here, I am at my max. I wish I could, but my hands are tied. Everybody has there limits...and I over exceeded mine.
Info on the dog:
From what my aunt told me, he is not neutered, she took him to the vet and got his shots (she was going to try to make it work, well, it didn't), and he is very friendly. She believes he would do better in a home with kids 10 and up. Or with somebody that is home all day. He likes other dogs, not sure about cats. I have not even seen him yet, so I am just going by what has been told to me. We are located in Illinois, just outside of Chicago. Please if anybody can help this poor dog find his FINAL home, I would so appreciate it. Please email me at [email protected] if you can help or know anybody who can. Thank you.
