My name is Lip!

Meet Lip!

This sweet boy is looking for a home. Lip is a handsome 31 flavors mixed breed, with an estimated birthday of 11/01/2020, weighing around 50lbs. Lip is the most gentle and loving soul, and just wants someone to give him the snuggles and affection he desperately craves. Lip loves the company of other dogs, but as always a meet and greet is required if you already have any in the family. He has not yet been tested with cats, but his easy-going and relaxed demeanor makes him a wonderful dog for a family with kids. Lip has a rough and tragic history, when he was a much younger pup he was ruthlessly shot in one of his rear legs, just weeks after he had been hit by a car and injured that same leg. Unfortunately, he was never able to recieve proper vet care for these injuries, and it would now be much riskier to attempt to repair his leg. Although he uses his leg with little to no problems, in the colder weather, or if Lip has been particularly active, you may notice a little stiffness or a slightly odd rythm to Lip's gait. He has been examined by one of our trusted vets, and they agreed that intervention after so long would likely do more harm than good. Aside from him being predisposed to getting arthritis in that leg, they reccomended leaving it be.
