I am the 'mom' of neurologically-challenged Frenchie Remy, and now I am fostering another special needs Frenchie.
Arby is a 3-4 year old, neutered male Frenchie who is paralyzed in the rear legs. He recently had an MRI but unfortunately it determined that Arby is not a surgical candidate. Arby can urinate and defecate on his own, but his control is not the greatest, so he wears a diaper and diaper cover in the house. He is borrowing a cart right now while his is being ordered.
Arby is being fostered in So CA through the French Bulldog Rescue Network. You can read his bio here:

It is very difficult to find adopters for paralyzed dogs, so I thought posting here would be of benefit to Arby. Don't worry-Arby is in no danger of being sent to a shelter or euthanized (he was rescued from that fate), but the quicker he can get in to a permanent home, the better for him.
Caring for a paralyzed dog is a bit more time consuming than an able-bodied dog, but it is certainly doable for a dedicated, patient person who has the time or will make the time. I work fulltime but come home on breaks and at lunch, plus my son helps me out, too.
Arby deserves a forever home who promises to care for him for the rest of his life. He's been through a couple of homes already, and he really needs to be able to settle down with a forever family.
If you, or someone you know, is searching for a special needs dog, please check out Arby's bio, or you can PM me here with any questions. Thanks!
