Chi Chi’s rescuers weren’t even sure she would survive after undergoing a quadruple amputation.
But Chi Chi is a strong soul. The day after surgery, she tried to walk. And a couple of days later she was smiling and started to walk a little on her stumps.
After two month of recover, Chi Chi was ready to fly to her new home in the United States.
First Chi Chi flew to Los Angeles, and then she drove to her new home in Arizona.
When she arrived, Chi Chi took in the smells of her new home.
And then she met her new family: Richard, Elizabeth, and Megan Howell.
And she also met the Howell’s other two dogs, Kipper and Harry. They were rescued from laboratory research facilities through a branch of ARME called The Beagle Freedom Project.
ARME set up an Amazon wish list for Chi Chi, and people were very generous in helping her. Chi Chi loves her dog stroller that donors bought her…
But she also loves getting around on her own.
She can do anything other dogs can do, except climb stairs.
Soon Chi Chi will be fitted for prosthetics.
Her new footwear may take some getting used to, but Chi Chi is sure to face her new challenge just like she faced everything else in her life—with bravery and determination.
Thanks to ARME, Chi Chi has been given a second chance in life and all the things she needs to enjoy it.
