Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello! My name is Lenny. I am a "special needs" boy. If you love Dobies you will love me. I am a very handsome 2 + old male dobie mix. I am as sweet and gentle as I can be. I am very docile. I do have a bit of a problem though. I think my eyesight isn't very good but I can see. I have a tendency to walk in circles sometimes and I am also incontinent. I started having seizures and was put on phenobarbitol which has stopped them. This medication is very inexpensive thankfully. The vet thinks I possibly lived through distemper as a little puppy and it damaged my brain. Actually I am a very happy boy. I love playing with the other dogs here. ( Although sometimes some of the other dogs will pick on me because I am disabled and they sense that). That is one reason my foster parents would love a home for me where I could be the only or maybe with another dog who wouldn't be mean to me. I am walking better. I am also responding to my foster parents better too. When I first got here...I didn't seem to understand anything...but now I play, and like to be petted. I need someone who understands that I may always have a little bit of "goofiness" in me. It does not make me less of a loving boy though. It is more of a challenge for me to learn things since I don't understand things quite as well as "regular" dogs...but I know I will eventially. I am a "special furbaby"...that's all I can say. I am affectionate and sweet boy. I could make a wonderful companion for someone who would love me for who I am and had the patience to work with me.
I realize that me finding another home is very slim. If you would like to sponser me so that my foster parents can buy me the food, meds and diapers I wear that would be very nice of you. They will be caring for me the rest of my life, if I don't find another home...and they love me, but it does costs extra keeping me here with all the other foster dogs they have. Any help of a donation would be appreciated. I eat Pedigree dry adult dog food if you have any coupons you might find that you could mail to me.
