My story

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

I am a 2 yrs old Dixie,Chihuahua mix that would love to have a home of my home where I will be loved forever. I had a home, but it wasn't a good one. My jaw was broken & instead of getting me to the vet they just taped my mouth shut with duct tape. I couldn't eat with my mouth taped so I got very skinny. Animal control rescued me from my back yard, thank goodness, & I was taken immediately to the vet. I had surgery & now have pins in my jaw & my mouth doesn't close all the way. It will take probably a year for my mouth to heal completely, but it doesn't keep me from being happy! I have no problem eating, I just can't chew on bones or anything like that right now. I like other dogs & everyone I meet. I am so happy to have a second chance at a happy life! Because of the delicate nature of my jaw at this time, I cannot go to a home with kids.
