Cordelia - SPECIAL NEEDS

Cordelia is a very special and sweet puppy looking for a home with a family who will vow to love her forever - through all of life's twists and turns. Originally found as a stray in Houston, we very quickly realized that Cordelia's physical structure was not "normal," and rather a horrific result of intentional, poor backyard breeding - a current trend to make bully breeds "shorter," "squattier," and "wider." Cordelia had an extremely malformed front left leg (that has since been amputated - please note, some pictures are pre-amputation); a weaker front right leg that struggles to bear the weight of her body; a s-curved spine; and several organs that have documented enlargement, which sometimes leaves her winded after playing too long. <br/><br/>So what does this mean for Cordelia? Well, the short synopsis is that veterinary professionals are led to believe that she will have a shorter lifespan and is more prone to physical and orthopedic complications as she ages and grows. That said, she might not get much "bigger" - which would be ideal: the less weight she has to bear, the better. She IS an ideal candidate for a wheelchair and/or prosthetic to help distribute her weight more evenly - and we are already in talks with several companies on best solutions for her. <br/><br/>But here's the thing... Cordelia is an incredibly happy, social, playful, and loving dog. She WANTS to live - and she shows that to us every single day. She is a beam a sunshine, radiating warmth and happiness, constantly - even in those moments or on those days where she is a little more tired. And she deserves the world.<br/><br/>We know we are looking for a "unicorn home" to love our very special girl, but we also know the right person or family is out there for her! <br/><br/>If you think she might be the fit for you, please apply online at https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/6476b07912357a9a4606eddf/698f5508bf57b0d5bc0f02b8<br/><br/>If you would like to discuss Cordelia's situation in more detail to see if she might be a good fit for you, please email info@masbullyrescue.org.
