Angus's Story
Born in February 2026, Angus didn't exactly get the start every puppy deserves. He came to us malnourished, had been covered in ticks, and was carrying a fractured leg that hadn't been treated. We dont know exactly what breed mixture he is. We were told Cane Corso Great Dane mix, though he was acquired at a flea market, so who knows? Being injured and malnourished makes it hard to tell how large he will get, but were thinking big! <br/><br/>Angus suffered a femoral fracture sometime before arriving at the shelter. We dont know how it happened, but it occurred long enough ago that the bone has started bridging the gap on its own. The leg is healing a bit crooked, leaving him with a slight limp, but youd never know it from watching him race around the yard. Thankfully, it doesnt appear to be causing him pain. Our veterinarians recommend taking things one day at a time-if the leg continues to serve him well, it can stay just as it is. If it becomes painful in the future, amputation may be the best option.<br/><br/>Because Angus has some orthopedic challenges, our veterinarian is recommending that he wait until about a year of age to be neutered so his growing bones and joints can get all the hormonal support they can. We will require whoever adopts him to sign a contract regarding his future neuter. <br/><br/>Now for the important stuff: Angus hobbies include carrying his food bowl around, chewing on humans, and enthusiastically launching his entire body at children he loves. He seems to adore kids, but is still working on the concept that friends are not bowling pins. Once he gets the initial excitement of greeting people of his system, he's pretty calm for a puppy. <br/><br/>Angus is doing an impressive job with potty training and tries very hard to hold it when he can. He's playful, curious, and seems convinced that every day is the best day ever. He can be loud when he meets new dogs, but so far, he does well with everyone he has met. <br/>His leg may be a little crooked, but his spirit certainly isnt. If youre looking for a resilient goofball with a permanent happy attitude and a slightly unconventional gait, Angus might just be your guy. <br/><br/>To meet Angus, please apply at www.hsfc.org
