He's ready to go! He is doing well with his recovery, and will benefit from regular walks and some massage therapy on his leg, but he's an awesome boy! He LOVES kids, gets along great with cats and other dogs. He sounds the alarm with new people but once he is introduced, he is very trusting and loving.

3/17/13 - This cutie just came through knee surgery and is on his way to recovery! He's extremely sweet, but came from an abusive situation so has a little trouble with initial hello's but that has drastically reduced in less than two weeks. He is house trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and currently being fostered in Dayton, OH, but will not be available for adoption for another week or so, and then only to a home who is prepared to rehab his knee.
He had a grade four luxated patella and a partial torn crutiate. So he was in A LOT of pain before surgery and is currently in pain from surgery but that is subsiding more each day. It will take him some time to learn to use his leg properly as he has been like this from early puppyhood with no intervention. His leg is attrophied from lack of use, so he needs time but gets around on three legs very quickly as that was all he knew. He is roughly two years old.
