Meet Mr Mondavi Crush! (Mondavi is from Contra Costa Animal Services) Mondavi is a 1 yr old, 10 lb Dachshund and Chihuahua Mix NEUTERED MALE. He is also microchipped, vaccinated, free of parasites and has had bloodwork and a dental cleaning. Mondavi was brought to the shelter after being hit by a car and wandering around for a while. His back left leg and hip have been injured to the point that our vet feels that amputation is the best option. Mondavi will be having this surgery on Halloween and he should be ready for a new home in 10-14 days. He has a regular foster home lined up, but could benefit from a quieter one while he is recovering if someone local (94565 area) would like to open their home for 2 weeks. Dogs adjust really well to being tripods and since his back leg is not usable and is causing him pain, he will be fine once it is gone. Mondavi is very sweet and gentle and loves belly rubs and cuddles. He is not comfortable on a leash for his short potty walks but much of this may be due to the pain meds he is on that is making him groggy (but keeping him pain free). He seemed to do okay in the car and seems to like dogs and cats just fine. Once he is healed, he should be okay with gentle children. He is potty pad trained and goes outside when we take him but due to his medical needs right now we do not know if he knows how to ask to go outside. He is GREAT in a crate. We think his pronounced overbite makes him look like internet sensation Tuna the Dog aka Phteven (shown in last picture below). Our vet has qualified him for our Seniors for Seniors program due to his lovely, sweet temperament. Welcome to UOH, Mondavi!!!
