Chowder Mixed Breed Jackson, MO

Chowder...where do we even start with this baby? She endured more in her first four to six months of life than any dog should ever endure in their lifetime. She was found in an abandoned house that had been set on fire. There was another female dog with her that was thought to be her mom, but sadly she had been shot and was deceased. Once she was seen by our vet, it was determined that she had fractures in her back, pelvis and hind legs. Healing of those bones had already started, and we did not want to re-break them and cause her more pain. So they will continue to heal as is. And as if ALL of that wasn't horrific enough, Chowder was also suffering from mange and horrible hookworms, which she has been treated for. Despite all that, she is friendly, curious, loves to play tug, and uses her puppy energy to nip at fingers. Her favorite thing to do is explore her space and try to sniff out every inch of it. She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home, and is starting to really warm up to people. Chowder deserves a million good homes after all she's been through, but all she needs is one, with her forever family.
