My story

　　You’ve gotta meet this gem!Hello, darlings! My name is Treasure, and I’m a 3-year-old, spayed Chi mix, weighing in at 6.5 pounds. True to my namesake, I’m a sweet girl who will only enhance your life! Sadly, I haven’t had the most dazzling past. I was found on the streets of Baja with rear leg paralysis, believed to have been hit by a car. As a result, my mobility is a bit limited. Indoors, I can scoot around unassisted (with carpet being easier for me than tile or wood), but when outdoors, I prefer to move around by using my wheelchair since my backside is prone to injuries when near concrete or rock. Due to this condition and the lack of sensation in my legs, I need to have both my bladder and bowels expressed. Thankfully, I don’t need to wear diapers, as I’m pretty good about doing my business during my regular assisted potty breaks. I am prone to chronic UTIs & crystalluria. I eat prescription food (Hill's Prescription Diet Urinary Care C/D Multicare) to help manage it.Despite my special needs, though, I have a heart of gold and a glass-half-full mentality. I love cuddling and napping with you, and I adore being held. But in true Chi fashion, I am also a little spitfire! I love to run/scoot around all day and make you laugh. I have a zest for life, and I love cats and children of all sizes. Other doggies take me a little longer to warm up to, but all in all, I like having them around to play with. I also love playing with my toys and I even run to them first thing in the morning so that I can start squeaking and fetching! I have mild separation anxiety and tend to bark at strangers or when someone’s at the front door. I also have a bit of leash aggression to other doggies while out on a walk, but I am working on it and making progress!

　　My ideal household would be to anyone willing to open their heart and invest the time and energy to being my caregiver. I’d make a great companion to any type of family. If we sound like a good fit, follow the treasure map straight to TAP to schedule a play date! My adoption fee is $300 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
