Ruff Ruff! My name is Shorty

Shorty's Story...
meet Shorty. he came to the rescue about 6 months ago . someone found him in a park with his legs wrapped in duct tape and sticks. when examined we found out his legs were not developed from being in a small crate probably the first 6 months of his life. so the result was, he walked on his elbows. our vet decided to leave the legs alone to see if shorty could build his muscles up in his legs on his own. 6 months later he is walking upright. he is still very clumsy though. Shorty is 1.5 yrs (April 2012).
he should be an only dog for a family with no small kids as he sometimes gets possesive over his food. a strong pack leader is what he needs. he lives with 5 other dogs in his foster home. so it is possible for him to adjust. but like i said-a strong pack leader. he is totally house trained. although i do crate him when i leave. to prevent any mishaps while i am gone either with another dog or chewing something in the house. he would not be a dog park kinda guy. has to show everyone who is boss. he takes correction well. and is over the challenging thing quickly.
Shorty is about 45-50 lbs. now and should be done growing. he does love his crate. he will go in alll by himself most times. if you think you could give this cute guy a forever home just submit your application at www.rescueahart.org and we can discuss his needs.
