More About Josephina

Josephina is a 5 yr old Pomeranian mix. As you can see from her pictures already- she's what we call a 'sausage with feet' here at the ACQ. A diet is in order for little Josephie. She's just an adorable little wad of fur.

She was found as a stray, but it is obvious that her owners abandoned her. After all, have you ever seen a normal stray looking like a sausage?

Josephina has special needs. Her trachea is collapsing on her. She cannot be too stimulated or overworked. Little Josephie must go to the vet to be treated. She needs to be in a quiet setting where she can relax. Even after just walkig for a good 5 minutes, she had to sit down and rest because she has trouble breathing. She is also (obviously) overweight. That adds on more problems for Little Josephie...

If you'd like to rescue this little lady, please feel free to send in an application on her today.

You may also foster her if you'd like.

...Or, perhaps a donation or a sponsorship to treat her ailing trachea?

UPDATE: Josephina past away peacefully in the arms of her foster mother. The ACQ staff and her foster mother misses her dearly. Rest in peace, little Josie.
