Darwin's Story

*11/19/25 - The returns continue!<br/>Recognize this little muppet? Our fairytale creature Darwin has returned to us after almost 2 years <br/>Darwin makes our 3rd dog currently in foster that was returned. We do a rigorous vetting of applicants, but unfortunately people&#39;s lives change. Since he has left ACR, Darwin hasn&#39;t been cared for as we had hoped. He left our care a healthy 7.5 lbs, and came back at 10 lbs. His teeth were hanging out of his mouth, and he was just a lil messy muppet. <br/>After being back, this last week he has already started to lose weight and become more lively and excited. Today he had his dental, and had his rotten snaggles pulled, and his dental disease was so severe, he had bone deterioration and had sutures put in to help stabilize his jaw. <br/>Despite coming back a mess, and losing his family, Darwin is already just transforming back into the perfect fuzzy boi we knew 2 years ago!<br/>Interested in Darwin? Fill out an application at www.aychihuahuarescue.org/adopt.<br/><br/><br/>*5/10/24 - Meet Darwin!!<br/>Darwin is proof that evolution is real. He is the missing link between Chihuahua and muppet. Darwin is about 7.5 lbs, and around 9 yrs old, but he has such a young and loving soul <br/>Darwin is absolutely the most loving and chill dog. When we first pulled him from the shelter, he was so shy and just a sweet little ball of fluff and veggies. Once he got home and cleaned up, Darwin spread his leggies and began to become wiggly and playful. He will get so excited to see you he will give you a sweet loving fanged grin and some kisses Darwin will be a baby being held with his long legs tucked in. <br/>Darwin does really great with other small dogs and will just wiggle with excitement when it&#39;s time to play.<br/>He is also potty trained but will excited pee when he gets super giddy. <br/>Interested in adopting Darwin the Muppet dog?
