Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**PLEASE READ TO THE END FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION.**
If you would like to adopt, please fill out an application at www.TexasChihuahuaRescue.com. The adoption fee, including vetting paperwork and microchip registration to adopter, is $200.
Meet a very special girl that has been with us quite a while and needs a special and understanding adopter. This is Kameo. Kameo came to us from ACS here in SA. She had one baby at ACS whom unfortunately did not make it. Kameo has a very rare condition. She was born with her Kidney on the outside of the abdomen wall. TXCR took Kameo to 2 doctors and a specialist. Our vet also asked several other doctors and specialist to weigh in on our surgery options for Kameo and the consequence was this. 1. No specialist or surgeon here in SA or in a 500 mile radius or any major City in TX would even touch this, and B. She is probably better off just left as she is. Kameo has had blood work and a liver profile. Everything turned out perfect. Kameo is spayed and fully vaccinated. She has been x-rayed and had several ultrasounds. There is quite a bit of muscle and tissue over her kidney and that keeps her safe. Kameo is not in pain one bit. She is 3-5 years young, and 6 lb. Kameo enjoys sun bathing, good cuddles and dinner time. She is very quiet and shy at first but she does come out of her shell and she dances, prances and plays a bit. There is nothing more we can do for Kameo. She is not in pain and surgery would be so risky we can not even find a Dr. to do it. We prefer her not be placed with small children or large dogs. Although we certainly do not want Kameo to live in a bubble, she does need a special home just to take that extra care and precaution of her. Preferably we would love an adopter here in Texas so Kameo does not have to go on transport but if the right adopter up north and in Canada came a long, we would be open to transport, Kameo is a very good girl and she has been with us for 8 months. It is really past time for her to shine, and find that furever home that she is more than deserving of. Apply online www.texaschihuahuarescue.com

Additional photos and videos will be made available to potential adopters upon approval of our online adoption application.
