My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Falkor, named after the luck dragon in the Never Ending Story, was born approximately Dec 15, 2104. He was found sitting in a ditch in Atlanta, GA and was rushed to a vet clinic because they thought he had been hit by a car. It turns out that he has a dislocated hip and a healed fractured pelvis. Poor boy had been suffering for a while!

Falkor requires a femoral head and neck osteotomy and then extensive rehab. Though he may never walk "normally" - he'll be pain free and able to run and play like any other dog.
