Atom Ant

“𝗨𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘁 ‘𝗲𝗺, 𝗔𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗻𝘁!”

 Update 11/10/20: The adoption process for Atom Ant is temporarily on hold until he gains some weight. He had such a rough start and then battled Parvo . . . he is doing well in his recovery but we need to keep him in his current foster home for a bit longer (probably 2-3 weeks). 

We welcomed little 4-pound Atom Ant at around 10-weeks-old… the product of someone who continually and negligently allows his dogs to have litter after litter, then gives the pups away to whoever, wherever… We cringe at the fate of all those puppies.

 Atom’s advocate rushed to get him as soon as his family asked for help. They’d had him a week or so – and kept him locked in the bathroom, all alone… not getting much attention. They thought he had mange, so they isolated him and now they wanted him out asap… They’d searched for adopters or rescues, but they had no luck. As soon as we met him, we felt that his skin issues were mostly yeast instead of mange. We gave him a bath, clipped his long nails… and spent some time on his ears. He had scabs behind his ears from rubbing. He was so good through it all though, realizing we were helping him – and so happy he was being held and snuggled. Then, the vet diagnosed him with Parvo. After 6 grueling weeks of treatment/recovery, we are glad to say that he is energetic and ready to be adopted.

 He appears to be a dachshund and chihuahua mix. He’s long compared to his short little legs. He’s a definite cutie… and a good boy. He just loves attention and he is bursting at the seems to be allowed to play with the other ‘kids,’ and to be held and loved. 

Atom had no vetting prior to coming to Refuge Rescue. He is in the process of getting his puppy vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, flea and heartworm prevention… and he’ll be neutered as soon as possible. He His adoption fee is $450 and includes all of the above vetting.
