Foxie my Red Rescue Chihuahua

Hello,

My little girls name is Foxie, she looked like a little red fox to me. She is a 4 year old that I was lucky enough to rescue from our shelter. I learned that she had been running the streets for several months, starving and dirty. A couple who had been watching her for many weeks finally got her cornered and took her to the shelter.

The vet said he thought she was about 9 months old at the time. I had gone to the shelter because I had lost my little Yorky Lunar that had been with me for 16 years. The minute I saw this little girl, it was love at first sight. I put in my application, as did several others, and I went to visit her every day. I even took my yellow lab to meet her and they took to each other immediately. I was about to leave that day when the people who ran the shelter sort of changed the rules of adoption and some how my name was pulled out of the hat as the winner:-) They knew how much she would mean to me, thank God.

Bless her little heart, she does have some eye problems and is slowly going blind. My Vet said there is nothing we can do, but she is handling it very well. Benny, the Lab, watches out for her and seems to be protecting her. It's so sweet the way he seems to clear her path and walk to the food and water with her. He even lets her sleep tucked up to his tummy.

I never knew Chihuahua's were so wonderful and loving…I feel blessed to have Foxie.

Thank you for your site and information, JK
