Chihuahua - Small - Adult - Female - Dog - Santana
Description
Santana was rescued from a horrible farm in Iowa where dogs were being bred for the purpose of selling the pups to pet stores for $50. Santana is a lovely girl, but still very shy and unsure of us. She has lived in misery so long that she cannot yet believe there is any goodness in life. Santana is heartworm positive. She is receiving treatment. It is very hard on her, and we hope that her poor worn out little body will endure it. There was a swamp at the property that was full of mosquitos. The dogs were being eaten alive by fleas and the mosquitos that were infecting them with heartworm. The person who owned the dogs admitted he had no money for medical care, since the pet stores only paid $50 for the pups. There would have been no profit for him in properly caring for the dogs. Santana will have a long tough road ahead. We hope she can survive it and come to know and enjoy love. UPDATE: Santana is through her heartworm treatment and is now healthy. She is a gentle, quiet little girl. She is still a bit fearful of the humans but is coming to accept love and affection. She has been through so much. It will take time and gentle love to ease her pain. Santana is a female Chihuahua. She was born in 2002 and weighs 8.4 pounds.
