Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Alpha – Dachsund/Chi/Terrier – 10 months – 15lbs. – Neutered. Up-to-date with current shots * Primary Colors: Rust. Coat length: Medium. This little guy was surrendered to the shelter by his owner. Alpha initially would not let anyone touch him. He was afraid of everything!
After living at the shelter for almost a month, someone wanted to adopt Alpha. Unfortunately, Alpha tested positive for heartworm. When they called Alpha’s adopter to tell her, she changed her mind about adopting him.
Although he is still very scared, he has calmed down quite a bit and it learning to trust new people. Luv-A-Bull stepped in and is providing treatment for his heartworms until another adopter comes along. Could that be YOU?
