Lucy 7 Chihuahua Los Alamitos, CA

Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but will contact the one that is a good match within 3 days.
Lucy is a 4yr old, 6lb dear headed chihuahua, a precious golden colored girl with very expressive eyes and a “ go go go" personality. Lucy loves to be part of everything from following you around the house to going outside the backyard, anything happening with her human Lucy wants to be part of it. She is sweet, house trained, loves to play with nonaggressive dogs, loves to sit on laps and will happily hang out in a dog purse. She does get tired quickly but really loves to be a part of the action.
Lucy was born with deformed back legs, her knee caps simply don't function so she carries her legs similar to a frog. Dogs are amazing and Lucy is the most amazing of all, she doesn't know she is different and is happy getting around in “her way". Lucy has had several x-rays and surgical consults. Sadly, she is not a candidate for surgery. Her case is so complicated the surgeon could not give any guarantee her movement after surgery would be any better than her movement before surgery. Putting Lucy through such a long and painful procedure with so many unknowns didn't seem fair. Lucy will never be able to walk normally. Lucy is not in pain, she is the sweetest most loving girl, we accept Lucy "the way she is”, and we hope to find her a home that will love Lucy the way she is as well.
