About Twiggy

Adoption Fee: $50
Chihuahua / Dachshund
Age: Senior
Sex: Female

'She's old, fat, blind, and mean. We are tired of her and don't want her anymore' That is LITERALLY what her owners wrote about her when they surrendered her to the shelter. She was terrified, MORBIDLY obese--so much so she could barely walk, and was totally shut down. Since being rescued, she has lost 7 lbs, is spunky, bossy, set in her ways, but behind all that she is a really sweet dog who just had some crappy owners. Twiggy is possessive of her food (go figure) and can be with her bed as well, however she does well with dogs when up and walking around with them. Surprisingly she doesn't yell at the larger, more active dogs--guess she knows her limits :) She would love to be the only child, and once you figure out how to handle her and her little idiosyncrasies--she's a doll. Just a typical grouchy old lady set in her ways. She can't go to adoption events because she bites all those little fingers when stuck in her face--so we hope she will have better luck online. :) Although Twiggy had a dental, she still has some teeth which bite when she wants them to :)
