Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Call owner direct ay 619-455-9385. Hi there! I have a 5 year old female Pembroke Welsh Corgi (named Miki) that needs to be re-homed ASAP. In April, Miki suffered a slipped disc in her spine which led her unable to use her hind legs. She underwent surgery immediately ($4000 surgery) to better her chances of regaining sensation in her back legs... it is a long process to recovery. Miki currently sees a veterinarian located in Stockton, CA who sees her every other month to check with her progression... he approximates that if she were to have any improvement with her back legs, that it would take a minimum of 6 months (It has been 4 now). Her visits are free of charge.
She is very loving, and friendly. She may be shy at first with strangers, but overall is a friendly and pleasant pup. Miki may be unable to use her back legs, but she gets around just fine! She can scoot around. I had a specialty dog cart (Dog wheelchair) made for her and also, I have a red wagon she loves to be in when we go out.
The reason she needs to be re-homed is that my work schedule does not allow me to care for her the way she needs. With her paralysis, she needs more care than I can give at the moment. Miki can no longer control her bladder/bowels. She would need to be expressed manually three times a day. Unfortunately, work keeps me busy that I am unable to run home during mid-day to express her bladder.
If anyone out there is willing to take her in, please please do not hesitate to contact me. She is a great pet! She will come along with her wheelchair, food/water bowls, leash, red wagon.
