Wrigley
Bichon Frise / Mixed (medium coat) · Adult (3 years 9 months) · Male · Small · Spring, TX
Notes from Yorkie Rescue Houston
**update**
He delights in rendering all soft and fluffy items flat and unusable! no Toy or bed is safe.
Also, this boy is stubborn and not responsive to kissy invites to 'go outside'.
Wrigley was surrendered by his family with a small 'tumor' on his back. He had become 'bitey'. (I would too, if allowed to suffer the pain of being MATTED TO THE SKIN!)
We took him from the shelter and he went straight to our vet. It wasn't a tumor. THEY were cysts. He had 5 large cysts that had been allowed to grow unchecked. He was badly matted and required sedation grooming. While he was under, he also got a badly needed dental! All 5 cysts were removed and he is healing nicely.
Wrigley is a bit of a loner, preferring to chill in a quiet room. He gets along with other dogs, but does not seem to enjoy their company, he does not engage in play or other activities. We believe he will do best with an experienced dog owner with no other dogs in the home.
We believe he may be slightly sight impaired also
