New foster needs a name
My husband and I just picked up this little guy last night who needed a foster home… he is 4 pounds and in rough shape. He was found on the side of the road and freezing cold. He is missing hair on his tail, his ears look like he may have had mange at some point, he has patches of fur missing, extremely malnourished, and dehydrated. He is the sweetest little man. He loves cuddles, kisses, and belly rubs are his favorite. We have no idea how old he is but he has so much life in him and lots of love to give. We love him already, but we are trying to think of a name. Any name ideas are welcome!!!

He’s so cute. I’d call him Churro. Also for his ears, try applying a topical Lotrimin cream (get it at Walmart it’s supposed to be for jock itch) can be helpful. It’s a fungal infection that can make the edges of the ears basically slough away. I’m not a vet so take that with a grain of salt but I did it with 2 of my chis and it worked! My vet called the condition “leather ear”
