Story
This is Wylie! This sweet 11 year old mini Poodle has been with us since February 2020, spending his time with an amazing foster. Wiley came from a local shelter with two debilitated back legs. After multiple vet visits to seek out his diagnosis, it was identified that both of Wiley’s knees have severely subluxated patellas. Based on the severity and his age, surgery is not recommended. He will be on Gabapentin and in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He cannot go for long walks and cannot climb stairs. Ever since Wiley came to our rescue, he has been in great spirits and has a very loving and friendly disposition with his human but he does not do well with other dogs. He would make the best companion to a single person or retired couple looking for a companion If interested in giving this sweet boy a loving home, please message us! muellenbergerin@gmail.com #adoptdontshop
