Little Foot

Why choose me?<br/>Foster update: Happy update on George/Little Foot. We started fostering George about 6 weeks ago. At the shelter he was too scared to come out of the back of the kennel and wouldn't be very adoptable as an extremely people-shy dog with a disability. He has a deformed back foot that makes him effectively a tripod.<br/>For the first two weeks we had him he was terrified and wouldn't leave the corner of the house. We had trouble getting him to go outside to pee and almost had to take him to the vet when he held it in for more than a day. Little by little he started exploring and feeling more comfortable. The biggest issue has been his reluctance to go for walks, but this week he's been working through that too! He's such a sweet guy. He LOVES other dogs, is fine around cats, and is coming around to making more people friends.<br/><br/>Little Foot was spending part of the day with the Volunteer Coordinator in her office. He can be shy with people, and this was a good way for him to relax and feel safe with a new friend. Put Little Foot with another dog, and his shyness slips away-he LOVES other dogs. I saw him with Glenda and then Mandy today, and he was happy and having fun. <br/><br/>Little Foot got his name because a back leg is much shorter than his other legs, and his little foot dangles in the air. He can't use it, but it doesn't keep him from walking and even running. Little Foot seemed to enjoy his special day. He needs a little time to feel comfortable with new human friends, but introduce him to another dog, and he's like, "Hey friend!"<br/><br/>You can read more about this dog and check out additional photos here: https://www.accgov.com/9482/Dogs<br/><br/>The adoption fees, shelter schedule, a description of the rescue and adoption process, and a list of included vetting can be found at https://athenspets.net/adoption-rescue-process.<br/><br/>This dog is available for adoption through Athens-Clarke County Animal Services, located at 125 Buddy Christian Way, Athens, GA.
