My personality

My story

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

Look for the info card in Spokes’ photos to learn more about him!

Apply at Pupculturerescue.org/adopt

Spokes came to us after being euthanasia listed at the shelter, where he was brought in as a stray and already paralyzed. He had wounds covering his legs from dragging around on pavement and was in terrible condition. That was back in April - and since then he has been incredibly loved and cared for in his foster home.

Spokes is the absolute sweetest pup. He gets along with everyone! Like most paralyzed dogs, Spokes is incontinent and needs external pressure on his bladder to urinate. He defecates on a schedule. His care is simple and straightforward once in a routine.

Our hope is that one day Spokes will learn to spinal walk. Spinal walking is a reflexive form of walking that the body can learn to do after severe spinal cord injury. He is doing GREAT in physical therapy (showing early signs of walking in hydrotherapy) which we will continue to fund until the money we raised for him runs out, even if he finds a forever home before then.

Spokes is available for adoption. If you were interested in this very sweet, very special boy, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or apply on our website: Pupculturerescue.org/adopt
