My story

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

Shamus is a sweet and precious little male. DOB is estimated at 3/4/16. He is full of puppy play, loves to give puppy kisses and will make someone a wonderful addition to their family. He absolutely loves people and loves to play with other dogs.

Shamus is a special needs case because he was rescued with a birth defect. He has double lactating patellas (his knee caps were not where they needed to be). He had reconstructive surgery to fix this on both his back legs. Shamus still walks with a limp because due to the deformity, his back left leg is shorter than his right back leg. This will never resolve itself, so this limp will exist.

Shamus does not know that he has a special need. He is an amazingly happy puppy that loves life. He has been surrounded by love and only wants to give it in return. He deserves a special home, preferably a home with children as he tends to gravitate to them. He loves other dogs. He can go into a home with another dog, but the vet prefer it be with another dog that is either smaller, or one that wont play too rough.

He is up to date with his vaccines, including his booster, rabies and bordatella. He has also been microchipped.
