dash

Dash is ready to be adopted!!

This sweet boy is 4 years old and weighs 10 pounds.

Dash is good with other dogs, cats and kids. He loves to be near people as much as possible and LOVES belly rubs.

Dash came to us with IVDD and although we did have him get surgery on his spine, he did not regain his ability to walk. Dash is SUPER quick in his cart and loves going on walks and exploring the yard (and if you saw his recent video, chasing chickens ). When not in his cart, he gets around fine using his front legs. He has drag bags for times that he’s on rough surfaces.

We know that many people think that caring for a paralyzed dog is difficult, but it really isn’t. Dash does need to have his urine expressed, but his foster can show his new family how to do that. His poo is solid and usually comes out right after a meal when he’s out and about. Dash doesn’t have any idea that he’s any different than he ever was and loves to play and get as much attention as possible. He lays at his foster’s feet while she works.

Dash did have some strange sensations post surgery that caused him to chew on himself. That has completely stopped and the meds he is on now should be continued. DRSF will provide 2 month’s worth of meds, the cost of what he needs is around $40 a month.

We know the right family is out there for this gorgeous boy!
