Who can look at Fiona’s tiny face and not want to hug her gently and and assure her everything is going to be fine? On March 6, the 14-year-old Chihuahua arrived at the Carson Animal Care Center. A volunteer writes:

“This sweet angel needs help now. She has some heart failure possibility and having some trouble breathing; she is being treated by the Vet. She needs a foster and rescue now to save her life.”

The shelter has reached out for help and provides the following information:

“…is a geriatric tan female spayed Chihuahua (12-15 years old) who just came in as a stray from the field. She is very lethargic and appears to be in heart failure. She has a grade 4/6 heart murmur, difficulty breathing and there are crackles and wheezes on lung auscultation. Even though she is stray, we are asking that she be fostered as soon as possible to give her the best outcome. If her health declines any further, we may have to consider humane euthanasia to alleviate her suffering – there is no time frame on this one but she should be considered high priority.”

  2. Please don’t let her die in a shelter, she deserves a soft bed and to be surrounded by love during her last days on this earth.

  3. What do people do? If their pet is old or sick they just toss them away!??!?!? I pray this sweet senior gets a home or rescue!

  4. I have senior dogs as well as a severely abused little girl. No way would I ever abandon my babies. Senior and handicapped dogs have so much to give. In the process of caring for these pups, your heart grows in understanding and love. I would take this baby in a minute and shower her with love.

  5. I wrote this group offering to foster, but have not heard back….. I have many years of experience with frail, elderly chihuahuas…..
