Rowan and his sister were dumped in a Raleigh neighborhood with two other dogs. While we were able to trap Rowan and his sister, the other two dogs disappeared. Once trapped, Rowan turned out to be a wonderful little dog with a big personality!
We we first saw Rowan, we noticed he had a limp. We discovered during Rowan's care that his limp was from a long ago broken femur! So long ago broken that the pieces had fused to his pelvis. Unfortunately, due to the level of damage to both the femur and his pelvis, his leg could not be put back together, despite the efforts of his vet. Ultimately, his leg had to be removed.
Once recovered from surgery, Rowan forgot he ever had a fourth leg and is now running around like a mad man playing with his foster buddies! He's had to learn a lot about living in a home and is doing well. He still has more training ahead of him and we know he will find a great family to teach him!
Rowan would like an active home that will take him for daily walks and weekly adventures! He likes the NC Museum of Art, the Greenway near his foster home, and Lake Johnson Park! He has also tried to stay quiet while his foster family ate dinner at Craft Public House! He's a good little trooper and will delight his new family! Evenings in the back yard enjoying the sounds of birds and cicadas, while his family chat and watch the dogs play is another joy for Rowan!
