My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I have a wheelchair bound 4.5 month old aussie-doodle that has been handicapped since birth. He was seen last week and the vet determined he would never be able to walk on his own hind. Though I hate to give him up, I have to. I have a horse with dog aggression and my house is not safe for him. I have owned him since he was born and have done everything possible to help him grow and be a healthy/happy pup. I know it is best for Sly if I find him a loving home who understands he takes a lot of time and love where he will be safe. He is not in pain, he is a happy little fella and I don't feel as though euthanasia is an option because he has a long life ahead of him.(The vet kindly recommended this as an alternate idea) I do want potential adopters to understand he is a lot of work but when he does a happy dance with his front feet when you come home, it makes everything easier. He wears a puppy diaper to keep him clean and he is great at maneuvering his chair, should be about 35Lbs grown
