Miss Flans, the Chiweenie, is a product of inbreeding. She came from a backyard breeder who has been breeding dogs who are siblings. As a result of careless breeding, Miss Flans suffers from multiple genetic abnormalities. Among other things she has albinism, a tongue too long for her snout, is partially blind, and she suffers from seizures.
Her previous owners couldn’t handle her medical conditions. In fact, they had no idea that she was seizing and they just laughed at her when she would have an episode. Life was tough for Miss Flans, until someone came along to save the day.
Linda Alvarez is active in animal rescue, and her heart broke when she met Miss Flans. She originally intended to foster Miss Flans until someone adopted her, but realized soon after that no home could be better than her own!
As a frequent foster mom, Linda often has cats, kittens, and other pups in her home. Miss Flans loves the company and often plays with her furry roomates!
Watch the video below to see more of Miss Flans and how her life has changed since meeting Linda!
Isn’t she beautiful?
We hope this story will encourage people to adopt, and not to overlook “different” or “special” pets like Miss Flans!
