SAN ANTONIO- A three-legged chihuahua is on the road to recovery after he was found on the streets with a broken foot.
Animal Care Services started taking care of Tres, the three-legged chihuahua, after he was found as a stray, suffering from a broken foot. Veterinarians decided the best thing to do was to amputate his leg.
Under their care, Tres went into surgery and is now on his road to recovery. With only three legs, he learned to navigate around.
Texas Chihuahua Rescue, Inc. came just a few days later and took Tres into their care. The pup has been through a lot, but his future is bright as he continues to recover.
