Special Needs Pups

Carmen, Venus & Pablo were rescued by North Shore Animal League America from a puppy mill in Virginia in 2007. They were slated to be euthanized. This adorable threesome are well on their way to getting around without much difficulty thanks to their own customized set of wheel carts. This extreme measure will not only save them from possibly crippling injuries later in life, but will enable them to perform normal dog tasks - such as being walked on a leash.

Special Needs Pups' Updates

3rd Quarter 2009
Carmen, Venus and Pablo have been doing wonderful and their adoptive family has definitely noticed their love for the summer weather. In the yard they have a gated area where Carmen, Venus, Pablo and Scooter can hop, walk and scoot around. They all seem to enjoy the sunny weather and basks in it for hours. To avoid getting too hot, their adoptive family has set up a small tent so the siblings and Scooter can take a rest in the shade if they would like to.

2nd Quarter 2009
Carmen, Venus and Pablo couldn't be happier with their carefree lifestyle. Their adoptive mother makes sure to keep up with their busy social life and surprisingly, they don't tire of their many play dates. There are quite a few dogs in the neighborhood that they play with and despite having only two legs, they manage to keep up with all of them! Their adoptive mother says that they are each a ball of energy and can be seen running and hopping around in delight. In addition to all the furry friends they have, Carmen, Venus and Pablo have also become close with some of the neighborhood children. Recently, they attended yet another birthday party. They were busy spending the entire time "working the room" for attention! Needless to say, they were habitually fussed over by all the kids!

1st Quarter 2009
Carmen, Venus and Pablo haven't been able to exercise outside as much as they used to in their wheel carts since it has been so frigid. The siblings truly loved running in the circular driveway in their carts, but the snow makes it a little cumbersome to navigate. However, they do have plenty of space indoors to run around and they love the many visitors that come over. The siblings' adoptive family frequently receives visits from their grandchildren who climb right inside of the gated area where Venus, Carmen and Pablo play. Venus, Carmen and Pablo love playing with them and, despite only having two legs, can be caught chasing them around!

4th Quarter 2008
The little trio of Carmen, Venus and Pablo are still maintaining their celebrity status. The siblings were recently featured in the October issue of National Geographic Kids magazine. All three of these adorable and persevering Chihuahuas were shown in a feature titled "Amazing Animals". And we agree - they sure are amazing! In addition to all the glitz and glamour Carmen, Venus and Pablo have been experiencing they have extremely fulfilling lives at home and enjoy spending time with their family.
