Description:
Agnes is a 5lb little Chihuahua who is so grateful for the slightest bit of love. She was found abandoned in the basement of her home after her family was evicted. They left her there to starve, which she almost did. She was emaciated and covered in fleas, while also showing signs of being beat (there’s a portion of her skull that appears to have been broken). Despite all that she’s endured, Agnes happily wags her tail, flits around the house following you, and snuggles on your lap any chance she gets. She’s even started to give little kisses.
Although she’s spunky, Agnes does have some significant health issues and her adopter will need to understand that her time might be limited. She’s blind in her right eye (but sees fine from her left) and has luxating paellas in both back legs. Neither of these issues seems to bother her. More critically however, Agnes has a very significant heart murmur. She’s on regular medication to support her heart (will cost approximately $35/month) and she will likely need to be on more medications as edema becomes an issue (which will happen as her heart becomes less efficient). It’s not clear how long her heart will be able to continue to support her little body, but as of now, she’s not limited at all and shows no outward signs of a weakened heart.
The petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.
