SHANGRALA'S
Abandoned
Chihuahua
Boo!
Meet Boo, an abandoned dog discovered living inside a tree trunk in the remote
countryside area of California. She now has a much warmer, loving home after
being rescued and adopted.
Boo, a Chihuahua mix believed to be less than a year old, was found 'tiny, starving and pregnant" inside the hollow tree last April in Sebastapol, according to Sonoma County animal control officer Shirley Zindler. 'I think she was dumped there, and she was desperate to find shelter, so she got inside through the split at the bottom of the trunk,' Zindler told ABC News. 'She'd probably never been handled, and she was very afraid of people, so it took over an hour to coax her out. But my scrambled eggs I was having for breakfast that morning did the trick.' Unfortunately, shortly after her rescue, Boo went into labor, but she was in poor condition and delivered a dead puppy, so she had to get an emergency surgery to remove the rest of the litter that didn't survive. |
After many days of reviewing applications and meeting potential adopters, Zindler
said she believed Kim Stohlman was Boo's perfect match.
'She has a cat or two and another small dog, who's also very shy, which told me she's done this before and knows what she's doing,' Zindler said. Boo was welcomed into her permanent new home, where she's been making amazing progress - all documented on her Facebook page called 'Life of Boo.' Boo even did a 'happy dance' showing she's adapting well to her new home. |
