My story

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

Sweet 5 month old Hachi is special needs, we believe he was either born with a defect to the cerebellum part of his brain (the part that helps control movement, motor control, muscles) or was somehow injured shortly after birth causing him to have issues. As you'll see in video he has a twitch/tick that is always there. His tongue is partially out most of the time & he does fall around some too but he really wants & tries to be a normal puppy. He learns a little slower than most but is the sweetest baby. We have him on phenobarbital (seizure meds) now which seem to help a little & he may or may not need to stay on them indefinitely :( Hachi really needs a special big hearted forever hero that's willing to love him just as unconditionally even with his slight disabilities.....Could you be that special person & his forever hero?!?!? Due to his issues we do prefer he go to a home with kids 10+yrs old.
