Fragile and neglected 15 year old chihuahua in need of immediate rescue at California shelter

Her name is Coco:

I nearly dropped the phone when I got her weight. Rescue Only Coco is ONLY three lbs. The thought of this medical baby on the streets BREAKS me.

The notes include severe dental disease, eye issues, poor nutrition and overgrown toenails. I can assure you Coco has NEVER been vetted. My goodness, she’s not even spayed!!

PLEASE look past the photo of this thrashed doggy and know that there is a living, sentient, being who has been treated like trash. She is all alone except for us.

I can’t even imagine how lonely this doggy feels.
