Darby is a Chihuahua/Terrier Mix and has the cutest short legs..
Darby has recovered from his leg surgery. Many of you remember that Darby had a growth plate on his front leg that closed up early. The larger bone in that leg kept growing and started to twist. He had several xrays done and it was found that he had enough space in his elbow to have the smaller bone in his leg cut, a pin was added for stability. The reasoning was that the muscle in his upper leg would pull the bone into place as he walked. Well, it worked, the pin has been pulled out and he has been recovering for the last 4 weeks or so. He will always have a limp, since that leg is shorter then the other, and when he stands his foot still points outwards. So, he is not perfect, but any further damage was stopped and he gets around just fine.
Darby hasn't resumed using the dog door yet, but he gets plenty of chances to go outside. He is crate trained and he loves to lay in a lap and sleep the day away, when he isn't wrestling with his sister Clarissa.
Darby looks to have some terrier, and the other mix we can only guess that it may be a little Dachshund or Corgi, since his brother Buster also had his short legs and big ears. He is 8 months old, neutered, current on his basic vaccines and chipped. Adoption fee $275.00
