Meet Lieutenant Dan

Named after Forest Gump's Platoon leader from the movie Forest Gump (he lost both of his legs in the war). We pulled Lieutenant Dan from a high kill shelter in Georgia where his owners dumped him because he was born without front legs. Dan has no idea that he is handicapped. He knows how to walk on his rear two legs and he also has wheels to help him get around. He has life all figured out and doesn't let anything get him down. Dan is super affectionate and eager to please. He has a wonderful disposition and is described by all as a very special dog. We think Dan has the personality and temperament to be a service dog or an emotional support animal . We know that with the right owner and the opportunity Dan is going to find his purpose. If you would like to adopt Dan please contact Peggy Stern at pmpstern@yahoo.com.
