guava
Female - Mixed Breed
Age: March 2023 | Weight: 6.3kg
Guava was posted on a Bucerias facebook group as being abandoned and very underweight. We commented saying we would accept her into our care. We then found out she was actually in La Penita, north of Bucerias. We were able to contact a rescuer in that area who drove her to us. She did have a family who willingly relinquished her. They were in the process of moving and would leave several days at a time and leave her there with no food and water. She was covered in ticks, underweight and had swollen lymph nodes in her throat. She had a cycle of antibiotics and quickly improved. She will stay on the smaller side but is not in cabin sized; way too long. She might have some dachshund in her. We do expect her to gain some weight but do not expect her to be over 20lbs. She is a very loving girl with the biggest eyes that will melt your heart. She does really well around the other dogs. You can tell this girl was very neglected as she soaks up any love you will give her and she loves to be held. She should be ready for adoption by early April but can be applied for now!
