Meet Lt Dan

Age: 8 years Size: 40 lbs Estimated breed: Labrador retriever/Beagle mix Has lived with: Female dogs Lt Dan was found as a stray in North Carolina, completely unable to use his hind legs. He was brought to the local shelter and put on a ten day euthanasia deadline due to his medical needs, which just happened to fall over Christmas. We checked in after the holidays and found he was only a day away from euthanasia and knew we had to help. Lt Dan had performed a Christmas miracle of his own - after several days of crate rest, he regained the ability to walk! Lt Dan has spent the past few months in foster care but is ready to move on to new digs. Lt Dan has IVDD and a collapsing trachea. He gets around just fine as long as his activity level is kept to a minimum. Short leashed walks and brief playtimes in the yard keep him happy and healthy! He takes daily medication for coughing that costs $40/month and wears a harness to prevent pressure being put on his trachea. He has done great with small dogs and female dogs in the home. He's been reactive meeting large male dogs. He'd be happy in a home with females or as the only dog! He is fine with children 10+ who can respect his mobility needs. Lt Dan loves to be with his people and isn't fond of the crate, so a family who is home throughout the day will make him happiest. He is 8 years old, weighs 40 lbs but should ideally be closer to 35 lbs. He is the size of a corgi with super short legs and a stocky body!
