Lupita

A while back, we got a call that broke our hearts. An owner had passed away, leaving 12 dogs home alone for over a month. When we brought them in, we discovered two were pregnant and several were heartworm positive.<br/><br/>Among those 12 was a little Chihuahua who had the odds completely stacked against her. She was pregnant. She was heartworm positive. And she needed her leg amputated.<br/><br/>We named her Lupita.<br/><br/> Our vets got to work. Lupita delivered 3 healthy puppies. Then she completed heartworm treatment. Then, once she was strong enough, she had her amputation - and she came through like the absolute champion she is.<br/><br/>Now? This girl is READY. <br/><br/>You'd never even know Lupita only has 3 legs. She zooms around, makes friends with dogs and cats, and yes - she can absolutely get herself up on the couch. <br/><br/>She's about 4-6 years old, full of life, and looking for a patient family who'll let her warm up at her own pace. She's a shy girl and prefers to spend her day snuggled up with other four-legged friends.<br/><br/>Lupita has already overcome so much. All she needs now is someone to give her the life she deserves.
