My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Joey in Houston
Jack Russel/Chihuahua mix, Black/White, Male, 3 years old, Smooth coat
He tends to mind his own business, but likes to play with other dogs his size. He loves chewing on his toys He's defensive around cats, but usually leaves them alone. He LOVES to chase squirrels. He's good around other people and kids. He will bark at those who intimidate him though - usually men. But once the person warms up to him after a couple minutes, he won't mind them. He will cuddle with me any chance he gets and always asks me to scratch him everywhere. He knows his basic commands as well: sit, stay, shake, lay down, roll over, get your ball, go to bed, get your toy.. etc. He's very good at bringing the ball back to me when I throw it. He is house trained, but has a little trouble holding his bladder at night, but I think just an extra walk before bed will help him. I've stopped leaving water out for him at night for this reason. He's been caught wandering from home, but always returns back home as well. Unfortunately, he has arthritis in his right hip, so he walks with a limp at times. For the most part, he runs around and plays with his brother all the time. I am trying to find somewhere I can go to help me cover the cost of this procedure. If anyone knows anywhere, please let me know. I would truly appreciate that
