My story

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

Meet Rally!

Rally was brought in to Harbor Shelter (San Pedro) by an Animal Control Officer after, what he suspected, was a case of being hit or nicked by a car. He could not walk when he arrived, but the shelter learned that when on good pain meds, Rally was able to toddle around (see video). They reached out to us for a rescue exit, and we scooped Rally up on November 13th to become a Frosted Face. He is about about 14 years old and weighs 12 lbs.

Our on-site veterinarian examined Rally as soon as he arrived and did full body x-rays. We ordered a wheelchair for this little guy to help him get around and continue him on pain medications. And hopefully, he will continue to "rally!"

Rally is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling with a dedicated volunteer. She took him along on a trip to visit family in Seattle over Thanksgiving. We are so happy Rally is enjoying an adventure and receiving lots of TLC in the comfort of a home!

Rally's fling mom reports:

"Rally may be mobility-challenged, but what he lacks in walkies he makes up in sweetness, snuggles, and general perfection. He's actually getting around a little more as time goes by as well!

Rally had a big couple of days and was a champ on our outdoor time, but he definitely prefers San Diego weather and snuggling indoors to Seattle.

Here's some more info for his forever family:

* Rally is happy to sit and watch what you are doing or be on your lap.
* He is very affectionate.
* He's been fine left alone for a few hours at a time.
* Rally gets excited and barks with other dogs. He is so happy to meet them.
* I take him outside to pee every 5 hours, but he can hold it longer and through the night. We haven't needed the belly bands.
* He loves food and easily takes his meds.
* Rally gets around by toddling, using his wheels, and his favorite - riding in a sling!"
