Terrier - Medium - Adult - Male - Dog - Joey

Joey is an adorable 2-year old male terrier mix. He is neutered and paralyzed in his back two legs, but he has a doggy wheelchair to assist him in walking. He is a very sweet dog and is cat-friendly! The shelter think Joey was hit by a car. He was such a sweet dog, the shelter did not euthanize him. They put him in a foster home for 2-month, while they tried to find him a forever home. The foster could not care for him any longer, so he came back to the shelter. They put a SOS email out, since his days were number! We saw Joey's plea for his life & his sweet face begging to live. He comes to Dharma Rescue! Joey is also getting acupuncture treatments. Our vet is very optimistic he will be able to get strength back in his paralyzed legs! We are giving that chance to walk and continue his acupuncture treatments. A dog, or cat looks cute in wheelchair, but once it's out of that wheelchair, it is totally dependent on their human companion. Adopting a paralyzed dog, or cat is a huge responsibility, and a 24-hour job for the rest of its life. Part of that job is expressing the bladder & bowels, it must be done around the clock - 365 days a year. Please visit our website at www.dharmarescue.org for more information on Joey and to fill-out an application to adopt this sweet boy.
