Today, I met a chiweenie who seems ancient and who was found on the freeway in Los Angeles. She has a mouth full of painful, infected and rotten teeth. She also has a significant heart murmur. AND a great appetite, none the less! Her name is, Freeway, in honor of the place that caused her to be found.
The At-Choo Foundation has committed to lending financial help to a reputable rescue agency who is willing and able to take this senior dog under its wing.
Please help network on behalf of “Freeway” to help find a reputable rescue agency to take her in.

DUMPED WITHOUT a SECOND thought to DIE BY BEING HIT by a car >> TRUE CALIFORNIA STYLE !!!! THE GUPPY STATE of JUST TOSS IT AWAY CAUSE I JUST DON’T GIVE a DAMN ABOUT anything but MYSELF!!!!
It is the same here in NY. So many cruel and selfish people. Poor dog has been neglected and in pain for some time. I hope she gets the medical treatment needed and a family to love her. .
I got the first rescue dachshund when I was 21 and we have taken in dachshunds from birth to death for over 46 years!!! We work our hearts out to place them and if not we have kept them…. We lost our Scrappy Dog was the funniest, most loving character in April of this year!!! he was a true lover of Cottage Cheese as he had lost most of his teeth from neglect before we got him our vet could only save a few…. I still tear up when we have cottage cheese!!! I hope this little girl is give another chance at life!!! We had scrappy till the end and loved him so very much it would be a blessing for Freeway if even just a little time left she could feel like she meant something to someone!!!
I hope the generous offer of financial aid will get this dog the help she needs. Sharing…
