Chiclet *special needs*

My story

How adorable is little Chiclet?!? This brave girl is a true survivor with a spirit as big as her heart. Chiclet was found dragging herself around the streets, unable to use her hind legs, before being impounded at a local shelter. Her journey didn’t stop there—shortly after we picked her up, Chiclet had a major health scare and ended up in emergency care. She fought through a pyometra, severe dehydration, and a nasty kidney infection, and somehow, this tough cookie pulled through. Today, she carries a look that says, “I stared death in the face and won!!!”At around 5 years old, Chiclet is a ray of sunshine. She’s sweet to everyone she meets and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Although she’s paralyzed in her hind legs, that doesn’t slow her down—she’s a pro at scooting around using her front legs, and she thrives when using her wheelchair. Chiclet’s zest for life is nothing short of inspiring!Caring for Chiclet does come with a few special needs. Her bladder and bowels need to be expressed several times a day, but don’t worry—it quickly becomes second nature, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way if you’re new to it. Chiclet would thrive in a home where her adopter isn’t gone for long hours and ideally has experience with special needs dogs—or is ready and willing to learn.In return, Chiclet will shower you with endless love, snuggles, and smiles. She has the kind of heart that can light up a room and the determination to make the best of every day. Chiclet’s journey may have started with challenges, but her future is full of hope. Are you ready to give this incredible little warrior the loving home she deserves? Please inquire today!
