Anna is a Boston Terrier and Chihuahua mix. She weighs ten pounds and is approximately one year old. She is heartworm negative and up to date on all of her vaccinations. Anna is a special-needs dog and was rescued from the Columbus, MS, animal shelter in May and was unable to use her back legs. She had x-rays done, which proved her problem to be two shattered vertebrae in her back. Anna's injury was an old injury. and it was too late to operate. She is able to move around very well by dragging her little rear legs. She also has a brand new wheelchair, but has not gotten used to it yet; we are working on this every day. Due to her injury, she is not able to urinate on her own, so she will need someone that is very patient and dedicated to her care. She will need to have her bladder expressed three to four times per day. She is able to have bowel movements on her own, but she does not know when these will occur. I have gotten her on a feeding schedule, and most of her bowel movements occur at approximately the same time each day. Anna will need to be placed in a home with no other animals, because she does not seem to care for other dogs or cats. Anna is a very sweet and loving dog. She will break your heart when you first see her, and then you realize that she is perfectly happy and has no clue anything is wrong with her. She loves to play, sleep on her back in your lap, and her favorite treat is milk bones. If she is ready to play and you will not play with her, she will just toss a milk bone across the room and then scoot her little self over there and get it. Once you meet her, you will realize she is a little precious angel that one can never forget.
