My story

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

Say hello to Dr Caligari, a handsome young foxhound mix with soulful eyes, a gentle spirit, and a truly inspiring comeback story.

This brave boy arrived unable to use his back legs, but with expert veterinary care, rest, and a whole lot of determination, he’s made incredible progress. Now he’s standing, walking, and getting stronger every single day—his healing journey is nearly complete!

When he’s not practicing his new moves, Dr Caligari adores quiet companionship, soft pets, and cozy nap time. He’s a sweet, sensitive pup who thrives on calm reassurance and kind humans. With a patient, loving home, his confidence will continue to grow right alongside his mobility.

This resilient, tenderhearted hound is ready for his next chapter: a caring foster or forever family who will cheer him on as he continues healing, blossoming, and discovering just how wonderful the world can be.
