Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kickstand earned his name, rightfully! You see, Kickstand came to a shelter unable to use his left hind leg. After being there for several weeks it was decided it would be in his best interest to amputate. Ergo, with one leg in the back, he is now "Kickstand" and he is doing absolutely wonderful on three legs.
Kickstand is, according to the vet, only around three years old. In his short life he obviously went through some trauma but this has not caused him to slow down or not enjoy life at all. In fact, this boy is so happy his tail could be used as a metronome. This boy truly just wants to be near his people and to be loved. If you are outside, he'll supervise anything you may be doing, and if it's just hanging out on the couch, he'll be more than happy to cuddle with you. He races around the yard with glee and even makes very elegant stag leaps. He is especially happy and jumps up and down when he knows it's time for a walk.
Kickstand is crate trained, house trained, and quiet as a church mouse to boot. If you want a great companion, and have a heart for a dog that's just a touch lighter due to a missing leg, then Kickstand may be the dog for you. Go to our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - and click on Adoption Process to read about what we need from you and find the link for our adoption application.
All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - and is found under Resources. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live.
Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
