My story

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

Taco was originally surrendered by his first owner at 6 weeks old due to an injury that left him with a broken pelvis, a lumbar fracture which had left him paralyzed in his pelvic limbs, and was incontinent. I got twice a day laser treatments and daily hydrotherapy exercises to rehab him. He has been with me for the last 7 years and has been loved and cared for dearly. Taco has regained the ability to walk and run and has regained most of his urinary and fecal continence. He needs to go out at least twice but 3-4 times a day would be best.
He currently is used to wearing belly bands to prevent any dribbling when his bladder is over full, but generally does not have urine incontinence issues. He will go to the door typically to let you know he needs to go out, but due to nerve damage cannot wait very long.
I’m a disabled vet and with health issues, work, and housing limitations I struggle. It pains me to rehome him, but he’s a loving boy that deserves a better life than I can give.
