My story

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

**PLEASE READ TO THE END FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION.**

We think Rafiki is the most handsome boy in the world! He weighs 9 lbs and is 3 years old. Rafiki is a very special boy who is looking for a special home. When we first brought him to TXCR, it wasn't obvious that something was wrong with him, but we soon realized something wasn't quite right. We took him for xrays and discovered that he was apparently hit by a car. Our vet said it was a miracle Rafiki was up, walking around, and without pain. His hip was crushed and was so damaged that surgery wasn't an option. His hip has healed on its own with no mobility complications other than a bit of a swagger that hasn't slowed him down one bit. Rafiki is ready to find his forever home and a family or person who is willing to spoil him and help him live life to the fullest. The only accommodation Rafiki needs is stool softeners added to his meals. These are extremely inexpensive and can be bought over the counter at any pharmacy/HEB/Wal-Mart.

If you would like to adopt Rafiki, please fill out an application at www.TexasChihuahuaRescue.com. His adoption fee, including vetting paperwork and microchip registration to adopter, is $200.

Texas Chihuahua Rescue is based in San Antonio, Texas. All of our adoptable dogs are located in the San Antonio area. Additional photos and videos will be made available to potential adopters upon approval of our online adoption application.
