My story

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

Nemo is an approximately 5 month old neutered male Papillon mix puppy weighing 4.9 lbs. He was brought in as a "stray" over the counter from Woodland, and his family never came for him.

Nemo is a social, happy puppy who has a little trouble keeping his balance. When he came to the shelter his tail was severely injured and had to be amputated. When the vet was examining Nemo prior to surgery, she noted "mild to moderate neurological abnormalities". He was stumbling sometimes when he walked, and had a wide stance to his back legs.

A veterinary neurologist from UCD kindly donated her time to look at this puppy and two more vets will be examining him the week of Oct. 10th. We will post those findings here ASAP but please DO get your application in NOW if you are at all interested in perhaps adopting him! (By the way, his mobility issues have almost completely disappeared/improved! YEAH!!!)

Here is some video of Nemo moving around our office. He prefers to be in someone's lap. https://youtu.be/x5cWmHjAbuc

If you have any interest in perhaps meeting and adopting Nemo, please start the ball rolling by dropping us an email to shpssac@yahoo.com
