Spots! Spots and more Spots!!
When I first came to the animal control place, I was covered with spots! And to make matters worse, my mom and sisters were covered with spots too! I guess we all had the same thing, but I didn’t think that we were that scary that people wouldn’t want to touch us or anything!
Then we came into the God’s Dogs and started getting treatment for ringworms, which isn’t’ really worms but a fungal infection on our skin due to our previously poor living conditions. We are still taking a pill and getting baths for our skin, but we shouldn’t be contagious anymore.
So, we have been here for 3 weeks now, and our spots are getting smaller, and our hair is coming in nicely. We still don’t have a super full coat, but it is getting there, but what we lack in hair cover, we make up for in personality!
I am a happy girl and love to play! I am the smallest of the sisters and am the quickest, I think! Anyhow, I love to play with toys and try to sneak them away from the siblings. My spots are slowing going away and they don’t itch or anything. So, there is no need to be afraid of my spots.
I am a chihuahua dachshund mix I believe, and I have mom’s curly puggy tail too so there has to be some pug in our background somewhere. We don’t know dad, so our breed is only a guess.
I am already fixed and my weight on 5.5.25 was only 4#10, so I will be on the small side. But good things come in little packages, right?
I am over 3 months old now and would like to find myself a permanent home soon! Will it be with you?

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
