Leno

Meet Leno! He is one special 6 month old, 10 lb, Chihuahua/Min Pin boy 💙. Leno was born with skeletal abnormalities in his hind legs which effect his gait. On x-ray it appears that his knee caps did not develop and there may be some muscles that did not develop fully. While it does mean he walks a little differently, it does not slow him down! Leno would do best with a fenced in yard as he cannot walk for distances on a leash. Leno is an inquisitive, busy puppy that loves to play and snuggle. Leno has found his voice and can be a vocal guy (he does bark and has what can only be described as a puppy scream if he is startled or excited).<br/><br/>Thanks to a very kind donation, Leno was fitted for a wheelchair cart this past week and he is learning how to use that. He does not use a cart full time and as of now is only using it for 15 minutes or so at a time while he learns. Leno can go up and down a couple stairs, but does not do full flights. He would need someone who can carry him if stairs are in the home. He would also do best in a home without small children or large dogs.<br/><br/>If you think you might be a good match for this special boy, please complete our app at www.stlsdp.org
