Squirty Magoo is a very dear little 12 lb. 12-year-old, rat terrier chihuahua mix. He’s an oddball combo of fun and grumps with a spit and vinegar playful side and a special sideways look that says “don’t you dare call me old!” Despite his clever name this little man is also potty trained. He also very politely sits for treats, and walks well on a leash. His favorite thing is going places in a car or on foot. Oh yes, did i happen to mention that he bites? It’s understandable considering that he came to us with a skin condition that made being touched or petted extremely painful for years. Squirty has had blood-work done just to make sure his skin issues didn’t stem from something besides flea allergies and severe neglect. The results came back: everything spot on, all levels normal. Now he has healed but old habits die hard especially when fear-driven. Squirty is not a mean dog at all, but his sensitivity to touch makes him a candidate for an adult-only home. Amazingly, he has gone from being in pain and dangerously untouchable to following around his foster mom and leaning against her leg to be noticed and petted. Are you making up for lost time Squirty?
This boy has been through some hell and managed to make it through. It’s about time he got a break and life sent something good his way. There is only one Squirty Magoo in this world–no other like him, and he will bring so much happiness to the person who gives him the loving home he has been waiting for all this time.
