Introducing Biscuit!

Biscuit is 3 years old and thought to be a Husky mix. Biscuit is described as a happy go lucky dog who loves everyone. He is heartworm negative however, he does have a medical condition that he will need help maintaining. He is under treatment for Discospondylitis- a disease caused by an infection that has entered the intervertebral disc of the spine, causing abnormal gait (high stepping in Biscuit’s case) and neurologic stability/spine stability issues. He has been maintaining it well with help from our vet staff and his foster, but he is needing a place to call his true home. He will need to be on long term medication to help him slowly repair the damage this disease has caused to the best of the medication’s capabilities. It is possible he may not fully overcome some of the effects of this disease. Biscuit is social with cats, dogs, and children.
Biscuit’s adoption will be a little different due to his medical status to help ensure he goes to the best fit for him. Biscuit`s adopters will need to have a veterinary reference that they are in good standing with, as well as sitting down with our medical team to help understand his needs. This will need to be done over the course of 3 meet and greets with everyone in the home, dogs included. We try to keep barriers to adoption as minimal as possible, but want to help ensure he will have proper medical care for his condition as he moves into the home. If you would like to meet Biscuit, please email mckenzie.cook@lincolncounty.org to set up an appointment as he is in a foster home currently!
