Star and his sister were rescued from an awful situation. I was contacted by the owner who is very unwell and was unable to care for their needs. Star and his sister were left alone in the family home without basic care, both dogs in a small cage covered over with curtains and left in a corner.

On my 1st visit to the house, I was shocked to see two tiny black Chihuahua's in newborn baby nappies which were full of mess and hanging off. Star looked dreadful with his bones and ribs sticking out ..When I picked him up I noticed the nappy had eaten into his lower area on his body and no fur was there , he had sores from the burning nappy and had it on soo long that my eyes burned and Star could barely walk with his nappy and weak body.

He loved that I picked him up and cuddled him and That's when he asked me to take him with me. I could see his sister walking around my feet in a 'John Wayne' fashion. I asked the owner if I could take them to the vet. My Vet team asked me to bring them in straight away which I did. As I got to the vets and bought the two little ones out people outside swapped me shouting at me if I did that to them dogs. I told them about the difficult situation and one of the ladies started to cry straight away.

When I took the little ones into the vets both of them had an hour long health check and the vet was shocked to know I had two tiny that was in such a malnourished state, Star and his sister was starving to death!
I explained to the vet what the background was in the family home as she wanting to call the police.but I had my chihuahua community as support and advice for this rescue. Exam shows Star will need surgery to remove a potential cancer testicle and neutering, plus vaccinations. His sister had an emergency operation.

Unfortunately, Star will have to go for an operation soon and we do not have the money to fund it. Star is a brilliant dog, and with a little help, we could get him through the last few hurdles. Thank you!
