Pete's Story
**PLEASE NOTE THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN BEFORE PETE's TWO CORRECTIVE KNEE SURGERIES** New photos to come!<br/><br/>Name: Pete<br/>Age: 6 -7 years old<br/>Disability: Luxating patella's, surgically corrected<br/>Breed/Weight: Shepherd/retriever mix 45 pounds.<br/><br/>History: We rescued Pete, from a local Maryland shelter. He was found as a stray. Pete had been suffering for years with a very painful abnormal gait. Luckily he landed at the shelter, and was able to get to where he needed to be, PWD. It has been a long haul for this boy, 2 corrective surgeries, crate rest and leash walking have been his way of life for the last few months (he has been an incredible patient). We are now seeing light at the end of his long journey. We all feel Pete is ready to find that special person to help him continue with his surgical success. His orthopedic team noted "he seems so happy now and definitely a lot more comfortable!"<br/><br/>Pete is true survivor. Dealing with painful back legs for his entire life, you would think he would be a grumpy pup, but not Pete he is one kind easy going soul. He loves life, great with dogs, loves the company of people. Pete is awesome on lead and would love to go on walks with his new family. His beautiful blond coat is a perfect match for his radiant personality. He is a smart pup, follows directions very well, his tail always wagging. Pete will fit into any home and become one loyal friend.
