Meet Kaly
KALY (SPECIAL ADOPTON) as she does not have back legs and does require a wheelchair for parts of her day.

Backstory:
Kaly was found lying on the street in Guadalajara, MX after being hit by a car as a puppy. She was never claimed by possible owners, but we are sure she had a home.
Her column was broken and nothing could be done. Her back legs would never move again. She has always been a warrior, and despite what she has been through rough times with surgeries and limited mobility, she is a great dog. Both her back legs were amputated to give her better mobility on the floor, and less weight on her body. She uses a cart to move around.

Kaly has been in foster care for three months here in Washington. Here is what they have to say:

Kaly is a nothing short of a miracle. Everyone who meets her she lights up there day.

There is pretty much nothing this girl can't do other than hold her bowels/bladder. This girl literally can do a handstand while drinking water! Her upper body strength is impressive. She is a speed demon in her wheelchair and don't let her "special needs" fool you, she is still a husky and if you know anything about the breed she does what she wants when she wants!

She LOVES all dogs and absolutely needs to go to a home with other dogs!

She can be a bit timid of larger dogs at first. She does overcome it with every dog she has met once they learn the groove of dealing with her chair!

She loves being outside! She would do best with a family that can give her access to outdoors most of her day. This is almost necessary with her bladder.

She can get around just fine without her chair and we do give her time on our rubber flooring and just clean up messes as they come. She sleeps in a kennel run as she is not a fan of a crate and she needs out of her chair for the night. Her kennel run is padded and she enjoys blankets over beds.

Kids are her favorite humans! They light up her day!

We are happy to answer any questions you may have to see if this sweet girl could land you as her furever home! Although, this may be a who rescued who case! She is a gem!
