Charlie the Chihuahua

Received an urgent appeal for a standby foster for a Chihuahua named Charlie. Here's his background at a glance:

# Male, estimated 7-8 years old
# In need of behavioural change: Previous estranged lady owner used to keep him in a crate for years, it's believed she didn't let him out at all.
At the current home, he is snappish in the morning but come afternoon, his behaviour changes completely and is a sweet and obedient dog to cuddle

# A team of rescuers saved him from the supposedly abusive ex-lady owner and brought him for medical checkup, that included trimming of his long nails
# Vet given him a clean bill of health, save for skin problem
# Recovering: Now on vitamins, antibiotics and steroids
# Metal chain around his neck had corroded into his fur and flesh; his front legs are bald
# Current home has family members who disapprove of him, hence standby fosterer is needed

With Charlie's size, he is certainly manageable in an apartment, so if you could help in his healing and rehab process, please contact terrificlim@yahoo.com / 9838 3820

We are sure he will turn out as the fruits of the right dose of TLC. He's a fine chap.
