Fur Kids Foundation 2018 Success Story: Chaos

This is Chaos, a 2 year-old Chiweenie, which is a cross between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund.

​Last year, Chaos’ family adopted him, and he's become best friends with his human brother. His brother was heartbroken when Chaos was hit by a car, dislocating both hips and fracturing one.

Even if you believe your dog has not sustained a major injury as a result from being hit by a car, it is crucial that he or she sees a veterinarian as soon as possible. Check out this blog, What to Do if Your Dog is Hit by a Car, by PetMD for some more good information on how to help you pet if he/she has been hit by a car. 

Chaos' mom is a single mom who makes enough to get by and pay for budgeted expenses. She was not expecting a $1,200+ bill to help repair Chaos' hips, so she applied to Fur Kids Foundation for help.

Depending on the situation, there may be some good steps you can take to help prevent your pooch from being hit by a car. One simple, and great training tip, is to teach your pet to sit and wait at every door or curb, or even from the inside of the car to make sure your dog won’t bolt into oncoming traffic. Don’t leave your dog unattended in your yard. And, when you’re backing out of the driveway, make sure your pets are in a safe place. 

Chaos has a long road of crate rest ahead of him, but after staying at the vet a few days, receiving the treatment he needed, he'll make a full recovery.
