Asylum animal of the week: Sweet chihuahua Doedel is looking for a careful boss

Every week we put a shelter animal in the spotlight. In Dierentehuis Zoetermeer, cheerful dogs or energetic cats are regularly waiting for a warm home. This week we ask your attention for chihuahua Doedel.

Together with his buddy, six-year-old Doedel ended up in animal shelter because the previous owner had less time. The buddy has found a new home, but Doedel hasn’t yet.

Kneecaps are in tip top shape again

This Chihuahua is a sweet male who is looking for a careful owner with attention. Doedel likes a bowl of food and an occasional cuddle. Due to complaints in the back and hips, it turned out that the dog has Patella luxation after a visit to the vet. Doedel suffered from loose kneecaps and had surgery for it. So the problem is solved.

Breakage is lurking faster

After the successful operation, it turned out that his legs are a bit thinner than normal, which means he can break something faster. It also takes longer for him to recover from a possible fracture. So caution is advised! This cheerful boy is looking for a new home in Zoetermeer where he is welcome and where there is enough attention.
