Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This little pup is approx 10 months old and weighs 21 lbs as of December 2021.
He has a deformed left front leg ,we did have recent x rays performed and this is the information from his vet:
"I do not see any fractures or evidence of old ones. Just poor conformation. It could've been nutritional or just congenital poor development of his radius and ulna. He is not painful on manipulation of the limb or the joints around it."
It doesn’t bother him and he likes to run and play with his rescue buddies in the yard
He loves toys and his big dog bed. He is not leash/harness trained and will be in foster care in Easton , Pa where his foster will be working and training him. He is a very smart little boy, he can be a little timid and shy with new people , but warms up pretty quickly. He needs a home with a fully fenced and secure yard and a buddy to play with , his best friend Munchie is also with the same foster/trainer and it would be wonderful if they could be adopted together
Quaker Oats had parvo when we rescued him, but recovered very quickly and is a happy healthy puppy.
OUR RESCUE POLICY - It is our rescue policy for all our dogs that we require a home with no children under the age of 8, and experienced dog owners only.

The total amount is payable to Shaggy Dog Rescue which is a 501c3. We also provide a coupon for a free wellness visit to the South Wilton Vet group if convenient for you. Some of our dogs are still in Texas in foster care. Our application is online at http://houstonshaggydogrescue.org/application-process/
