Someone put Topper and his brother into a crate and abandoned them in a park in Burlington. Thankfully someone found the crate and brought the puppies to Burlington Animal Services. After their stray time was up, Topper’s brother was adopted. Because it was thought Topper had a heart murmur, and because of lack of cage space, shelter staff reached out to us for help.
We were happy to get Topper out of the shelter and he went straight to the vet for a health check. Turns out, Topper doesn’t have a heart murmur after all, and aside from the typical skin issues that Chinese Crested dogs suffer from, he’s in good health. We’ve got him scheduled to be neutered at the end of the month.
Topper is a very friendly guy. He’s only about five months old, so he has lots of puppy energy. He is getting along with the other animals in his foster home, and he loves to hang out and snuggle with humans.
When Topper is healed from his neuter and gets the go-ahead from his vet, he’ll be made available for adoption.

Welcome to Ladybird, Topper! We’re so happy you’re here!
