ASHLEY
Hi! My name is Ashley Wilkes Fitzgerald. My name has special meaning so I want to tell you my story. The first part of my life was a nightmare. I lived under very terrible conditions – so bad that the local Humane Society took me and my siblings from our home. We were sent to a rescue in North Carolina to some wonderful people named the Fitzgeralds. Thus, our last name. They named us after “Gone With the Wind” characters because we are such survivors. When we were found, we had no hair at all. Our bodies were covered with mange and skin infections. Our skin was so scarred that we may never have a full body of hair. I have hair over most of my body now, but only a few wisps of hair on my head.
My age is really unknown due to the years of neglect I suffered the first few years of my life. The doctorssay that I am anywhere between 6 and 10 years old. It is believed that I am a Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix. I am a very well traveled little dog. I was rescued in North Carolina. I was sent to Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso rescue in Houston, Texas, because they have had such success working with dogs with skin issues. They were able to get my skin problems under control and now I just need regular baths. I also recently went on a road trip to California! I was supposed to go to a rescue there but they didn’t think they would be able to find a home for me. I’m now back in Houston looking for my forever home. I know there is someone out there that will give me a forever home. I am a sweet and very loving little dog. I LOVE to cuddle! I also love to give kisses! I’ve come such a long way from my early life. All I need now is a forever home of my own. If you are looking for a unique little dog I’m the dog for you!
Please look at my Petfinder page for even more information about me. And, you can always contact my foster mom at ADOPTIONINQUIRIES@yahoogroups.com She knows how very special I am.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and heartworm negative.
