AUTUMN is an adorable little 18 month old Long-Haired Chihuahua that was dropped off at the shelter in Chester, SC.  The owner was very slow in responding to the questions from Animal Control to see what had happened to her.  He said she had never been vetted and he didn’t know what had happened to her leg but got really anxious and nervous when they wanted more details about her old injury.  He said he didn’t want her anymore and she had to go.  Chester gets a lot of animals and if they are not picked up soon they are euthanized.  Animals that have injuries or deformities are the first to be put down when there hold time is up.  Her time was up.  We were contacted by the officer there that begged us to help save her life.  We did and now this sweet dog has had to have her leg amputated.  The old break had deformed her leg so severely we could not repair it.  She was thin and had a flea allergy when we got her.  We have her current on all of her shots and have taken care of her flea problem.  She is now recovering from her surgery and will be able to run around and play on three legs far better than she ever did with four.  Autumn will be up for adoption and will make the most incredible member of the family once she has healed from her amputation. 

Sweet Autumn has had her surgery and is doing great.  She was not very chipper for the first couple of days but has finally begun to get her spirit and energy back.  She is walking on all three legs just like she has been a tripod all her life.  She will be up for adoption as soon as she recovers from her surgery.

Autumn is healing beautifully and is ready to be adopted.  Her new family will not believe how quickly she gets around as a tripod.

Autumn has been placed in her new home and is doing wonderful.
