My story

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

ADOPTED! Coffee was paralyzed probably due to being hit by a car and sent to a shelter in northern Taiwan last September. Two animal lovers in Taiwan heard this news from the Internet and decided to take him away from the danger of euthanasia. They also found that his vocal cord had been cut so he cannot bark as loudly as a normal dog.

Coffee's rescuers sought the best medical treatment for him. He stayed in the hospital where he was treated for decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) and skin lichen. His skin is fully recovered now having received far infrared irradiation and rehabilitation treatment, including acupuncture therapy. He is now able to stand for 1-2 minutes at a time and can prop up his lower limbs while dragging his body for movement, which will help lower the chance of him developing any further decubitus ulcers. He is in great physical condition, having had all his vaccinations and he now weighs over 30lb (14kg).

Coffee is very energetic. Though he can run as fast as a beagle with four working legs while on his cart, he does need some extra attention. He needs help to be put on his cart for 30 to 60 minutes a few times a day. He is housebroken but with his paralysis needs to be taken outside about 4 times a day and needs some assistance to go to the bathroom.

Coffee is expecting a family who is willing to wholeheartedly accept his paralysis, bathroom assistance and possible occasional decubitus ulcer, and can offer him a yard where he can run and explore on his cart. Coffee is nice and friendly to everyone. Though he cannot bark normally as other dogs, he is very enthusiastic about guarding his home. He is smart and learns good manners fast with only very preliminary training. He is a bit naughty but knows when to stop as long as instructions are given in time.
