| Mini was a very neglected Chihuahua who was
found at only a few weeks of age. A concerned
party contacted the RISPCA about Mini because
they thought she was weak and thin. Little
did they know that they were saving this
little puppy's life. We investigated the
complaint and found this teeny little puppy
severely underweight at 11.7 oz., dehydrated
and barely able to stand. We immediately
seized Mini, plucking her from the jaws of
death and rushed her to a nearby veterinary
clinic, where we were told she would not
have lived another 24 hours without intervention.
Mini had to be bottle fed by one of our dedicated
staff members and soon gained weight and
strength. Mini's owner wanted Mini back so
she could "sell her," but instead
was convicted of animal cruelty, paid a stiff
fine and lost ownership of Mini. Mini is
now a rambunctious little dog who lives with
our Volunteer Coordinator, Liz,who so lovingly
nursed her back to health. |
