Dusty is a young Australlian Shepherd mix that was born on 5/2/2011 and turned over to us when his owners realized that he was disabled. He was one of 11 puppies in his litter, so we believe his disability was probably from being stepped on by his mother shortly after birth. When we got him, his back legs were totallly stiff and vets believed it was from a spinal cord injury. We had him x-rayed and no breaks or signs of spina bifida were detected. He is starting to regain some sensation and movement in his back legs, however, because they've been spastic for so long, he now appears to have a condition called quadriceps tie-down. There isn't anything that can be done with surgery to "fix" his condition. He is making progress with physical therapy. We will continue to work with Dusty doing as much as we can to help him reach his maximum mobility potential. He is a happy, healthy, playful puppy!! At his foster home, he's getting daily baths and several sessions of exercise a day. It is believed that Dusty will be able to walk on his own with continued therapy, both at home and at the clinic. Dusty needs a person or family that will continue working with him to be as mobile as possible. His new family will also need to be able to accept and love Dusty just as he is while helping him be as mobile as possible. Dusty's mother is a brindle Aussie mix and his father is a long-haired blue merle Aussie mix. Dusty should weigh around 35-40 pounds as an adult. We are accepting adoption applications for Dusty. We are also gratefully accepting tax deductible donations to assist in his care. His physical therapy sessions cost $75.75 each and we can only take him in as we raise enough for each visit.
Volunteers
Volunteers are needed to help care for animals during Adopt-A-Pet events, to provide foster care for animals between events, to help with fundraising, to care for cats housed in donated space at area pet stores, to provide TLC to animals with special needs until they are ready to be adopted, and to assist when unexpected situations arise.
