Joker

Meet Joker!<br/><br/>Joker is a 1.5 year old Rottweiler who has been in our care for close to 18 months. He was born with severe hip dysplasia, which caused painful bone-on-bone rubbing, decreased mobility, and significant muscle loss over time.<br/><br/>Joker has undergone a Femoral Head Osteotomy (FHO), a surgery that removes the head of the femur to reduce pain and allow the body to form a "false joint." He is currently in the early stages of rehabilitation with his wonderful foster and requires daily range-of-motion exercises, short controlled walks, and weekly water therapy to continue building strength.<br/><br/>Joker is making progress, but adopters should understand he may always have some mobility differences and could remain a special needs dog with possible future orthopedic concerns. At this time, he will remain with his foster unless a foster-to-adopt home is able to commit to his ongoing rehab routine.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a truly special pup to support and love, Joker may be the one for you!<br/><br/>We do require that all pets in applicants home are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccine series, and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>Apply at www.pawsitivehope.org. To speed up the application process, please send vaccine records and verification of heartworm prevention of current pets to adoptions@pawsitivehope.org.<br/>In addition, please call your veterinarian to give approval for us to contact them about current pets medical care.
