Hi, all you Big Dudes and Dudettes! My name is Ashley Wilkes Fitzgerald, but my foster mom calls me Lil Dude and its kind of caught on. I got to Houston by way of North Carolina since my family (there were 10 of us) was confiscated from a horrible place that let us get really sick. We stayed at a foster home in NC (the great Fitzgerald family), and they named us all after those people in Gone with the Wind. Personally, I thought Ashley Wilkes shouldve told Miss Scarlett off, so I like Lil Dude better its more macho! Since we had no hair at all because of neglect, we were sent to Houston because they have had such success working with dogs like us with skin issues. Our bodies were covered with mange and skin infections, but I can proudly say I have hair over most of my body now, with a few wisps of hair on my head (though my foster mom swears kisses...
Hi, all you Big Dudes and Dudettes! My name is Ashley Wilkes Fitzgerald, but my foster mom calls me Lil Dude and its kind of caught on. I got to Houston by way of North Carolina since my family (there were 10 of us) was confiscated from a horrible place that let us get really sick. We stayed at a foster home in NC (the great Fitzgerald family), and they named us all after those people in Gone with the Wind. Personally, I thought Ashley Wilkes shouldve told Miss Scarlett off, so I like Lil Dude better its more macho! Since we had no hair at all because of neglect, we were sent to Houston because they have had such success working with dogs like us with skin issues. Our bodies were covered with mange and skin infections, but I can proudly say I have hair over most of my body now, with a few wisps of hair on my head (though my foster mom swears kisses are helping my hair grow more there Im thinking of channeling The Donald soon if shes right!). My foster mom puts t-shirts and basketball jerseys on me so my back doesnt get burned, and I love strutting my stuff in the outfits and would really like a team shirt so I can be a booster dog or could do matching jackets (biker dude?). She went a little overboard and tried a hat, but seriously, enough was enough, so now she just puts some sunscreen on my head when were cruising the hood.
Because of the bad stuff in NC, theres no way to say exactly how old I am, but the vet said that I am anywhere between 6 and 10 years old and weigh about 10 pounds. I seem to be a Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix with black, white & brown hair. I am a very well traveled little dog. I was rescued in North Carolina, came to Houston, and just a few months ago made the trek out to California and ended up in Utah, where I charmed the socks off the nice people that drove me! I know there is someone out there that will give me a forever home. I am a sweet and very loving little dog. I LOVE to cuddle and sleep under the covers! I also love to give kisses, and I walk nicely on a leash! Ive come such a long way from my early life. All I need now is a forever home of my very own. If you are looking for a unique little dog Im the dog for you!
you can always contact my foster mom at marmarlut@yahoo.com She knows how very special I am.
