History
Meet Lil Gomez and Alaska. What an adventure they have had. He and his best buddy Alaska had escaped from the car yard they had been kept at and then were found wandering the streets of Phoenix. They were hungry and scared and tried to protect themselves and each other from the elements of weather and a dog attack. Somehow and thankfully they ended up at animal care and control. Paw placement knew they had to save these dogs, they were so nice and loving. Alaska is a gorgeous Shepherd mix approx 2 yrs old. Lil Gomez is a 2 yr old chihuahua. Alaska is on antibiotics and ointment for a recovering skin laceration and Lil gomez is on antibiotics to help him heal from a vicious dog bite on his neck and leg. The Doc says Lil Gomez may always have a slight recurring limp from probably past trauma, but he gets along just fine. These dogs are so friendly and loving with dogs and children (Lil Gomez must go to a home where the children are over the age of 10). Ideally we would love to keep them together but it is not required. You must have a yard and lots of love for these boys who deserve a great life. You must be willing to commit through life changes and keep and care for them for their whole lives.
