The Spooksday cuteness is un-bear-able! #Chiweenie #Dog #Costume #SeniorDog Manchi, a black and tan chiweenie, dressed in a grey bear costume, sitting under an oak tree.

This little old lady is Ethel (formerly Abby but we've had a couple of Abbys before). She was so very loved and cared for until her owner got sick. So we’re taking up the torch and she'll be very loved and cared for here. #Chihuahua #Dog #SeniorDog

We have some hopefully good news. Our regular vet called. He thinks he can get Honey safely through her mass removal after her 30 day doxycycline run. That would allow us to treat the heartworms by the slow kill method, which is safer for Honey!

I’d say Hazel is feeling better. #Chihuahua #Dog #Silly #Play A black and tan Chihuahua with her butt in the air as she play-bites and paws at a Human.

Kindness and love in every lick! #Dogs #SeniorDogs #Love #Chihuahua #BostonTerrier An elderly Chihuahua / Boston Terrier mix bathing a cream-colored Chihuahua’s face.

Amelia is heartworm negative and as healthy as you’d expect an 8 month old puppy to be. She needs her spay but that has to wait for now.

Theodore is heartworm negative and mostly healthy with a little bit of flea dermatitis and demodex causing hives. He needs to be neutered sooner rather than later, so that we aren’t risking a pregnancy with Honey. He got Bravecto today and we scheduled his neuter for the 30th.

Angus is heartworm negative and his mass is a lipoma. He also has a dental infection that has progressed to abscesses at the roots of some of his molars.

Honey has a skin infection as a result of flea dermatitis. She also has a mammary mass that really needs to be removed because it has the hallmarks of potentially being aggressive. She’ll be spayed at the same time. BUT… We can’t do that yet because she has heartworms.

The five newcomers had their intake vetting. It wasn’t all good news, even though some of it was expected. I’m going to cover the worst of it first and then I’ll do individual posts on each dog to get into the rest.

Angus is a charmer and a sweetheart. He hopes that your week brings you all the good things. #Mutt #Sweet #Dog #SeniorDog A brindle mutt charming his way into some good scritches.

Spooksday with Miss Witch Hazel! Nothing too fancy, just a pretty witch dress for the new girl. #Spooky #Witch #Chihuahua #Dog A black and tan Chihuahua in a black and white witch dress with orange stars.

This is going to be a long one so bear with me…. The Sanctuary has been closed to intake for a while, but we had a handful of dogs who we just couldn’t turn away. We had intended to take in 3… and we ended up with five (1/5)
