Meet Tartufo
Meet Tartufo. Oh my goodness this adorable little 4 month old 7 pound terrier mix has such a sad story. He came from a litter of 8 where the owner sold 3 of the puppies then surrender him as well as 4of his healthy siblings at a shelter. Tartufo was born disabled and the shelter wasn’t going to be able to take him due to the injuries of his back legs. We knew if he was given back to the owners he would be dumped somewhere as they were moving. He is so very sweet and he doesn’t let his disability slow him down. We have even been calling him hand Stan by the way he maneuvers himself around on his front paws. We are seeing the only thing he is not able to do is go UP stairs. He is scheduled to go to a neurologist and or surgeon to see what happened to him and if it can be corrected. We have also seen that one of his back legs has motion as it shakes when he is bathed so he will be receiving some therapy to see if he can regain motion. The shelter has promised to help with a wheelchair but we will see if with time it won’t be needed. Time and patience will tell us what this little man needs. He will be neutered vaccinated and microchipped on 9-14. He is in a foster but we will not stop until we find him his forever home.
