Story
Hi! My name is Tango! I am a handsome 6-year-old male Goldendoodle. Yes, Goldendoodle! I weigh just over 50 lbs and every ounce of me is adorable. I joined the APL family after living with a loving family my entire life. I had a human Mom and Dad and 3 little human sisters. In late September 2023, I suffered a spinal cord stroke and lost the ability to use my back legs as a result. I did a lot of physical therapy to help me regain function. My family tried their best to help me as long as they could but made the selfless decision to surrender me to A Purposeful Life in April 2024, so I could continue the road to my best mobility and to start a new chapter in my life. I love my new foster family and all my friends at APL. My favorite things to do are to play ball in the backyard, to snack on yummy treats, and to soak up and give lots of love and cuddles to anyone within a mile of me. I have no toy or food aggression and take treats oh so gently. I am extremely happy and sweet and am confident and curious about everything in my environment. I have loved every person I've ever met and will ask for pets all day long. Prior to my spinal cord stroke, I loved to go for long walks and runs. The wonderful people at APL knew this so they had a set of custom wheels made just for me! Now I'm back at it, leaving my people in the dust! I am an amazing traveler and love to go places. Adventures are my jam! I rarely bark and I don't chew on things I am not supposed to. I'm great with children of all ages, as long as they are respectful of me. I get along well with other animals and I don't mind having my paws touched at all. I love to chew on rubber balls and any toy with a squeaker in it, those are the best! Since joining the APL family, I have been spending considerable time at the awesome Iowa State Veterinary Rehabilitation Clinic to strengthen my back legs with exercises, massage, underwater treadmill, pool time, acupuncture and walking the halls with my cart. I am a staff favorite and they all have fallen in love with me. I mean....who wouldn't? I'm literally the BEST dog! I do require that you help me by expressing my bladder a few times a day. You will be given lots of help by my APL team to learn how to do this...it's really pretty easy and there are lots of online videos to help as well. The secret of a special needs dog is that they bring to their people a unique feeling of limitless purpose, joyous possibility, and unmatched happiness in accomplishment! A hero is someone who adopts a special needs dog, makes accommodations to care for their unique needs, and helps that dog to live a full and happy life. I'm looking for a family that sees beyond my different abilities and appreciates my incredible spirit. A household that's patient, loving, and ready to welcome me, despite my need for a bit more care. I promise to reward you with boundless love and joy and be your best companion by stealing your heart from the moment you meet me. Tango is up to date on vaccinations, 4DX tested, microchipped and neutered. He will come with all his cool gadgets so you can easily take him along on adventures. Applications to meet Tango can be submitted at: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/dogs
