During the month of February some of you
may have seen a lame mix Chihuahua dog running along the Highway 74
Bypass, from Central High Hill all the way to Tri-City Mall. You may have
seen him cross the busy traffic lanes from Wal-Mart to Lowe’s. You will be
happy to know on March 8 he found a safe and loving home with a forever
family.
Several people had been trying to rescue
him. We got a call for help from a lady who had been following him, looking
for him, and trying to feed him. We met her off the highway and were about
to set up our trap down in the woods when a car stopped beside us and the
driver asked what we were trapping. He told us the little dog had been
coming by his house for food and was up in his garage at the present time.
We were incredulous at the timing of his driving past us. He would not turn
his car around and take us to his house, but he told us how to get there and
where to look for the dog. It was not in a garage, but a carport; and we
could not imagine how we would be able to catch the dog who had been eluding
people so successfully for the past month. He was sleeping under a table
with a wall behind him and boxes on either side. He would have had to run
toward us to get away. He chose not to. He was “in arms” in about five
minutes of our arrival. He was at the vet’s office fifteen minutes later.
His leg injury is so old that he will probably never have full use of that
leg. He is so thin that he will have to wait about a month to be neutered.
His skin has suffered from exposure but will heal in time. He is ONE HAPPY
LITTLE DOG!
