Caboose *special needs*'s Story

Caboose is proof that sometimes the dogs who have been through the most are the ones who have the biggest hearts. This incredible boy was found as a stray and brought into a local shelter. What made his situation even more heartbreaking is that Caboose is paralyzed in his back legs due to IVDD. He had been dragging himself around outside, his back legs covered in scrapes and irritation, and he was also struggling with incontinence.<br/><br/>When we heard about Caboose, we knew we had to step in. While he isn't a pug, we have a huge soft spot for dogs who need a little extra help, and Caboose deserved someone in his corner. Now that he's with us, the thing that stands out most is just how happy he is.<br/><br/>Caboose is about 28 pounds of pure personality. He is loving, silly, and absolutely convinced that life is meant to be enjoyed. He does not spend his days worrying about what he can't do. He's too busy showing everyone what he can.<br/><br/>And what does Caboose love? Toys. All of them. Especially the squeaky ones. He is a professional toy collector and believes having only one toy at a time is simply unacceptable. You'll usually find him surrounded by a pile of favorites, ready to pick one up the second someone offers to play.<br/><br/>Despite not having use of his back legs, Caboose is incredibly active. In his wheelchair, he absolutely flies. He zips around like he has places to be and people to see. When he's taking it easy, he uses his "drag-bag" to protect his legs and belly while he scoots around using his front legs.<br/><br/>Caboose does need help fully emptying his bladder, but our staff is happy to teach his future adopter how to do this. It may seem intimidating at first, but it quickly becomes part of the routine. He is able to go number 2 on his own, though he doesn't always know when it's happening.<br/><br/>With other dogs, Caboose actually enjoys dogs who are playful and active which honestly makes sense once you meet him. He may have special needs, but Caboose does not know that he's supposed to slow down.<br/><br/>He is looking for a home with someone who will be around often, willing to learn his routine, and preferably has a huge stockpile of toys waiting for him.<br/><br/>Caboose has needed a lot of people to show up for him in his life. Now he's looking for the person who will be there for good. And we can promise you this: he'll pay you back with more love, joy, and squeaky-toy enthusiasm than you know what to do with.
