Story
We first found Chopper at our local shelter. He was standoffish at first but very quickly warmed up to us. He has a permanent limp so after he was adopted we took him to the veterinary. He had x-rays done and that's when we discovered he had a broken leg that never healed properly. The only option the veterinary offered us was amputation if his limp became cumbersome to him. Thus far, it doesn't seem like it.He's loving and playful with us and other dogs and has no issue keeping up with them. He needs a family that has the ability to spend time with him for the majority of the day because he tends to get himself in trouble when left alone. He hasn't been responding to our training and since I'm pregnant and already managing 1 dog & 2 cats it's best for him to find a good home that can provide him with what he needs. No other behavioral problems other than chewing items that are not toys when left alone. We work 9 hours a day and a kennel for that long isn't an option.
