About Us
Fidel, the Dog of the Day
Name: Fidel
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Chihuahua, Dachshund Mix
Home: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
 
   When our beloved kitty, Keno, passed away suddenly, we went to the shelter where I volunteer to find another kitty. Instead we came home with Fidel. Fidel is special because he has not taken Keno's place but found his own place in our hearts and filled a tremendous void in our home. After Keno passed away, I did not want to go home at night because I missed him so terribly.

    Fidel has made coming home a pleasure. His favorite toy is a stuffed leopard that he has managed to chew off the tail, both arms, both legs, the eyes and the nose. I have to keep sewing up the holes because he pulls out the stuffing. He also likes to play with a stuffed orange bone. If you are not paying attention to him, he will gnaw on it incessantly to make it squeak so that you will play with him. He likes when we throw it down the hallway so he can chase it. Fidel has become a special member of our family. Every day I thank the Arizona Animal Welfare League that rescued him from euthanasia so that he could enrich our lives with love and laughter.
