Carlos
Hello, my name is Carlos. I am a Chihuahua mix puppy. When I was only 8-months old I was found outside a gas station in a box. I was being abused by some kids throwing rocks at me. A nice man felt bad for me and took me home. While at his home in my curiosity, I ran into the street and got hit by a car. The nice man and his wife were not able to keep me and couldn't afford to take care of my injuries. They brought me here to Vista Veterinary Hospital and signed me over to the kind staff to care for me.
The doctors fixed my crushed pelvis, neutered me and gave me all my shots. I was given my name Carlos because I went up against a car and well-I lost. What can I say the name stuck and I answer to it whenever somebody calls me. I was put up for adoption, with many people interested in taking me home, but as it turns out I was home. It became obvious that the best home for me was here at Vista where I'm loved every day. I love to meet all the nice clients who ask about me
My days are spent with my large extended family including many aunties that all love me very much. I lounge around in the reception area most of the time. I have plenty of food, water, and all the treats I can eat. I still walk with a limp but I am not complaining, this is a good life to have.
Love, Carlos
