If you’re looking for the perfect Lady, we’ve got her right here! SNIPSA rescued this little red Chihuahua off the city’s euthanasia list just hours before her time. Lady had been surrendered to the local shelter as she had a large ulcerated mass on her chest, and her owners didn’t have the resources to care for her. So, we took Lady under our wing and started to tackle her medical needs. She had surgery to remove the large mass on her chest and also an unexpected benign tumor in her spleen. While we were able to remove both tumors, Lady has since developed several more mast cell tumors. Unfortunately, these tumors are not very responsive to chemotherapy so we have decided to provide Lady with the best life we can while she is with us. While we know it is somewhat of a tall ask, we are hopeful we can find a special person willing to love on her the duration of her earthly life.
Currently, Lady is doing fantastic in her foster home. We have learned she loves to fetch and is her foster mom’s perfect shadow. She is very loyal to her chosen person but isn’t afraid to branch out and make new friends. Lady does well with cats and other dogs though being a Chihuahua she can be a little bossy:) Lady uses her special stairs to get up on the couch and she has a cozy spot that she has claimed at the foot of the bed. She is eager to join in on car rides for trips around town and will happily peek out the window to watch passing cars. With her confident and loving disposition, Lady would make a great travel buddy or work-from-home companion. She is currently taking a regiment of antacids and steroids to manage the mast cell tumors. So don’t scowl when you see she is a little on the chubby side. It’s just a crummy side effect of the prednisone. But in the end, it’s just more Chihuahua to love!
Lady is one of our favorites–she is a blessing and deserves a blessing. We only want the best for her. Please consider opening your heart to this special girl.
