Merkel

Meet Merkel

Merkel is about 2 years old. When he was a small puppy, he was shot. The bullet landed very close to his spine, and he lost the use of his back legs. As he grew, his legs became hyper extended and could no longer bend.
They stuck out to the side and were causing him mobility issues. Plus because they were hyper extended, they became a great risk of getting fractured.

Because of his hyperextension, we decided along with orthopedic specialists, that removing his legs would be his best option.

Merkel is now a double amputee. He did so well through his surgery and recovery. He now has a hind end cart so he can go for walks.

Merkel is looking for an extremely special home.

1). No stairs
2). Easy and quick access to a yard for bathroom breaks
3). Someone who isn't gone for long periods of time
4). Having another dog of similar size that likes to play but isn't aggressive in nature
5). No young children
6). Willing to allow rescue representative to do wellness checks twice a year.
7) located within the lower mainland only
8) someone who will take great care of Merkel's amputation site as it does touch the ground and could get cut up.
