My story

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

Hi! My name is Joplin. I'm a 5 month old female Chihuahua mix. Weighing in at a whopping 6 pounds, I'm a tiny bundle of energy! I'm sweet, happy and playful, just like you'd expect from a puppy. Oh, and I'm a social butterfly. I love hanging out with other dogs, and I get along great with people, too.

I arrived at CageFree by way of a local high-kill shelter. It seems like my family cared about me, because they painted my toenails! I feel a little silly, but my friends here think it's kind of cute. I guess you can form your opinion when you meet me. That's not all that the shelter staff noticed about me. They also saw that I was missing some fur on my rump, which led them to believe that I had Demodex. After doing a skin scrape, their hunch was confirmed. Perhaps my condition is the reason my family gave me up, but who knows? Maybe they weren't aware that Demodex is easy to treat and is not contagious. Fortunately, CageFree knew exactly what to do!

The first step was to get me out of that scary place and move me into their facility. Next, they sent me to their personal vet to confirm the diagnosis, after which they promptly started me on medication. I'm still being treated, but since Demodex can't be spread to other dogs, I'm able to run around and play as much as I want!

Now all that's left to complete my happy ending is finding a family to love me forever. At my size, I'd be a great travel companion. I'm fun-loving and joyful, and you'll never be bored while I'm around! If you want to meet me, please contact CageFree as soon as you can!
