My story

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

Dewey is a young tripawd hailing from Mexico. Despite enduring a challenging start, he's a happy, well-behaved dog. Deweys left hind leg was amputated due to a car accident, but he is adapting well. His leg is still on the mend, requiring patience and gentle exercise. While Dewey isn't particularly food-driven, he enjoys engaging in mealtime activities like 'find it'. His favorite game? Hunting down his scattered kibble! Inside the home, Dewey is a model citizen. He's fully house-trained, crate-trained, and exhibits no destructive tendencies. Although he may bark at outdoor noises, he welcomes visitors without a peep. Dewey's walking adventures are filled with curiosity, although he may bark in response to other dogs' barking or unfamiliar sounds. Dewey thrives on companionship and affection. His mid-energy level makes him an ideal companion for various lifestyles. As Dewey adjusts to life on three legs, it's crucial to allow him time to strengthen gradually and build up more muscle mass. His ideal family would provide gentle guidance, enrichment activities, and perhaps even agility training to boost his confidence. If you are interested in adopting Dewey, please fill out an application at https://pawsaboverescue.ca/dog-adoption/   Please visit our website www.pawsaboverescue.ca to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
