My Story

Greetings, my name is Pepper Jack. I am a 10year old neutered male Chihuahua. I have come a long way these past few weeks. I was left abandoned at the front of the local shelter at night in a box. I don’t remember much of how I got there or what I did to deserve being left alone in the dark and by myself. I had grown a very large mass on my chest and I am sure that my owners could no longer take care of me. I wish I could have had treatment at an earlier time, but that was not the case. I was found by staff and when no one came to claim me they were troubled that my medical condition would leave me without any hope for a future.

I always thought I was a special boy during my younger years and it proved to be true when a rescuer saw me and thought I was destined for greater things than to be left hopeless in a shelter. I was taken to a foster home, bathed and made comfortable. I had a lot of work ahead I was told. I was seen by several veterinarians and they did not always look very cheerful after my exam. I was booked for surgery and was left by my foster mom in the care of a doctor. I remember waking up and was a bit confused, but feeling very different. My foster mom was waiting for me and was so happy to see me. I was thinking, did she not think I was going to make it back to her?

I am now referred to the “Miracle boy”. My doctor has seen me a couple of times since the surgery and he is so impressed with my recovery! I have a handful of staples across my chest, but hey, that the least of my worries. I am no longer carrying around a 10oz mass on my chest. I am only a 4lb dog. Now  I am a new boy with a new lease on life. I am Pepper Jack and I am a happy boy that loves life and enjoys car rides with my foster mommy. I am loved, cuddled and spoiled. I have my favorite jacket that I wear when I am going bye-bye. I am loved by all that have met me. I am so thankful for all of my new days. I give kisses and dance around the house and you can often see me smiling. Life is Good!
