Gotham's Story
Meet Gotham!<br/><br/>Gotham is a goofy, enthusiastic boy who loves having fun with his people! He is always ready for playtime and gets especially excited when toys are involved. One of his favourite games is keep-away - if you throw a toy his way, don't be surprised if he turns it into a fun game of "try and catch me!"<br/><br/>Gotham loves playing with his people and can be wonderfully affectionate and engaging. He does have plenty of enthusiasm, though, and when he gets excited he can be a little grabby when taking treats. When he's calm, he takes treats very nicely. He can also pull on leash, so his new family should be prepared to continue working on his walking skills. Because of this - we are recommending he not go to a home with kids under 12. <br/><br/>Gotham has shown no signs of resource guarding with food or other items, which is great news. Untested with cats, but very nervous seeing them through a window- recommending a cat free home.<br/><br/>Medically, Gotham does have some things his adopter will need to be aware of. X-rays showed that his hips have a dysplastic shape, meaning they developed abnormally. This can put him at increased risk for arthritis and cruciate ligament problems as he ages. The good news is that his current X-rays showed no arthritis or other joint damage, and there was no evidence of an active cruciate injury in his knees. Keeping Gotham lean and fit will be especially important for supporting his joints and helping him stay comfortable.<br/><br/>Gotham also has a minor 2/6 heart murmur that was detected during a previous examination, although it was not heard while he was under anesthesia during his most recent procedure. His adopter should make their veterinarian aware of this history and continue to monitor it.<br/><br/>He is also prone to ear infections, so his ears may need some extra attention throughout his life.<br/><br/>Gotham is looking for a family who will appreciate his goofy personality, keep up with his playful energy, and help him maintain a healthy weight. If you're looking for a fun-loving boy who thinks every toy is an opportunity for a game, Gotham would love to meet you! <br/><br/>Here's How It Works<br/><br/>We keep it simple.
