You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sharon (aka Abby) is now available for adoption!<br/>Abby is a happy, loving 1-year-old old pup who has absolutely no idea that there is anything wrong with her. She’s as active as any other puppy and just as mischievous. She loves other dogs and people and has a wonderful temperament. Abby is smart, intuitive, happy, and extroverted. She even enjoys going to the vet! She’s already mastered Basset stubbornness and can give “side eye” with the best of them. Unfortunately, Abby was born with rear legs that don’t work properly. She has never walked so she doesn’t miss it and she can scoot as fast as the other dogs run around the house. We’ve customized a wheelchair for her (looks a bit like a clown car) but she loves it and goes for walks with the other dogs.<br/>Abby was surrendered to GGBR in November 2025 and we were told by the breeder that she was 9 weeks old and had a back injury - maybe a dog had stepped on her. We started physical therapy and acupuncture but we realized that she was not improving nor did she really have any desire to walk. After doing x-rays it was determined that she was born with severe hip dysplasia and her stifles (knees) did not set properly in the socket. In addition, because she wasn’t walking, not being able to put weight on her rear limbs limited their development. She’s not in any pain or discomfort and can get in as much trouble as a fully mobile dog.<br/>Abby should be around 42-45 pounds when she is full grown. She is not incontinent but since she’s unable to be trained to go outside in her current location and condition, she wears diapers in the house and then sleeps in a crate with an incontinence pad at night. Because of the diapers, she is prone to UTIs so she does need to be changed every 2-3 hours. Her foster mom believes she could certainly be housetrained under the right conditions.
