Story
Pinky and the Brain I am the Brain, the other half of this dynamic duo, and I am happy to be alive!! You see, the reason I say that is because at the end of January, we were found in a box behind an apartment building in a neighboring city and we didn’t have a measurable temperature. It took a little bit, or a lot of warming to get us both to “wake up” so to speak. They thought I was dead at first. We both got a lot of fluids through needles in our legs, and lots of nutritious stuff in there too but we were unstable until we got to our foster mommy at Gods Dogs. She worked with us and gave us lots of love and care, even though we were skinny and didn’t have much life in us at first. It took time for us to get so skinny and in bad shape and it took weeks for us to get better too. Fast forward to today. Pinky is spayed already, and is ready to find her forever home. I would like to have a home with my sister Pinky, because we have always been together, but I know it isn’t always possible. I must wait until March 10th to get neutered as I has a wonky eye that probably has to be removed. Otherwise, I am fully recovered from my experience and am a great guy to play with. If you want to adopt me, I am a small guy chihuahua mix who shouldn’t be more than 15 pounds tops. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
