When Jill brought her husband and daughter to the shelter to look for another dog, they were imagining a young playmate for their chihuahua mix, Turk. Loki, the applehead chihuahua, fit the bill, but something about Loki's kennelmate captured Jill's attention. Alice was picked up as a thin, senior stray, and her claws were so badly overgrown that her toes now permanently point in all different directions. She's learning how to walk more comfortably now, and will need extra TLC for her stiff joints and tender paws. Jill and her family made the compassionate choice to adopt Loki AND Alice! They plan to let Alice spend her remaining years living like a queen while Turk and Loki romp and play. We think that sounds like a perfect retirement!
