Several weeks ago, a dozen, malnourished, injured and sickly Chihuahuas made their way to Angel’s Gate, from Alabama to New York. They were immediately admitted to Jockeyport Animal Hospital in Afton for emergency treatment. Three days later they returned to Angel’s Gate for the nursing care that they so desperately needed. Their physical needs were dire. These dogs have suffered from a lifetime of being caged, starvation, parasitic infestation and chronic physical pain due to untreated fractures and dislocated joints. Their spirits were broken. You could see the despair in their eyes.


Chihuahua Update:
Thank you to all who have contributed to the care of our very special Chihuahuas. The girls look like little Divas in their new outfits and the boys are so dapper in their new duds. The dogs love their new snuggly beds, and enjoy riding in their new stroller on warmer days. They are all recovering from their surgeries. They have all been spayed and neutered, had tumors removed, dentals (tooth removal) and hernias repaired. Tulip, Grace and Freda are very old and we make sure they are warm and comfortable. Suzy, Ginger, CoCo, Maxine, Rose, Nell and the boys run around with great abandon and are learning to play with toys and each other. CoCo and Ginger continue to have high white cell counts so they are on antibiotics and will be rechecked at the end of the month. You have made a great difference in the lives of these innocent victims. Several of these dogs may not have a lot of time. We are celebrating their lives and when they go on to whatever awaits them they will know for sure that they were loved. Thank you for being a part of this mission.
