History: Mr. Biggles has an open fontanelle. What this means is that there is a small soft spot on his head because the bones in his skull did not fully fuse together as he was growing. This is a fairly common finding in Toy Breeds, especially chihuahuas. Our veterinary team examined Mr. Biggles and took radiographs of his skull. They did not see any evidence that he may have another condition called hydrocephaly, a more complicated condition that is sometimes associated with open fontanelles.
In many cases, open fontanelles close as the dog develops, but for Mr. Biggles it is likely that his will remain open. Most dogs with this condition can live normal healthy lives, but care should be taken to prevent trauma to his head.
A Note from the Foster: This little guy is the definition of precious 💙 when he first arrived to our home he was very scared and didn't know what anything was or even how to be a puppy. It took about a week for him to settle in and we began to see his sweet and silly personality. In just a short time he has learned that he loves toys and to run zoomies! He is still working on potty training as the outside world is still a little scary for him but he is figuring out what grass is. He loves a nice comfy spot or lap to snooze in and even likes to be tucked in for bed. Biggles is looking for someone that can continue to give him the time, love, and patience he deserves to figure out this big world ❤️

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
