JAMAICA PLAIN - A Chihuahua rescued by the MSPCA after getting hit by a car is now looking for a forever home in the new year.

The 1-year-old Chihuahua, named Chanel, fractured her pelvis and suffered other injuries when she was hit by a car in Lawrence on Wednesday. Her previous owners surrendered her to the MSPCA due to the severity of her injuries being more than they can take on.
