"Chewy"

This is "Chewy", our newest foster. Actually his name is "Mr. Nibbles" but I thought that was a bit much, so we'll call him Chewy at home. A fellow cat foster took him in, but couldn't take him home because of all her cats, so she was boarding him at the Downtown Animal Hospital. He'd been there two weeks and I thought that was enough of Shamrock's money spent on boarding a dog that is not any trouble to foster at our house. So he said goodbye to the ladies at the clinic and came home with us!
Chewy was a stray in the Portland area of Louisville. His rescuer thought he'd been burned, but he actually just had fleas sooo badly that he'd chewed and scratched his fur off and his skin was raw in several patches. Now he's been vaccinated and neutered and his skin is healing (fur's coming in patchy on his lower back and left side). He's a cute little bugger, only 11 lbs...obviously a terrier mix. Looks a bit like a combo Yorkie/Cairn Terrier...reminds me of a little Benji. I'll be taking him with me to Dog Day at Slugger Field on Tuesday. I think this little guy will get adopted FAST!
