My story

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

Shrimpy is a young dog who is very small. He was turned in to the shelter lifeless and covered with fleas! His situation was urgent. We helped nurse him back to health and give him a stable home environment while he awaited the right age and size to be neutered. He also had a large hernia that was removed at the time he was neutered. (This picture shows his large hernia, but again, it was removed and he is a bit older/bigger now). At 5 months he only weighs a little over two pounds. He is a spitfire who is constantly moving! He would do best in a home with another small dog as he loves the interaction. If you're interested in adopting Shrimpy, please send an email to aLegUpRescue@me.com and we'll get the adoption application to you.
