Story
9 years young | 24 lbs | Tiny teeth, huge heart Bane is a 9yearold little guy who weighs about 24 lbs and is on the skinny side, so hes currently enjoying the good life withtwo meals a day(which he strongly supports). Despite everything hes been through, Bane is trulya very good boywith a sweet soul and a lot of love to give. He gets along well withmen, kids, and other dogs. With dogs, he can sometimes be a bit pushy and mouthybut dont worry, he hasvery few teethand isnt actually trying to fight. Think more grumpy grandpa commentary than real drama. Special Care, Special Boy Bane isparalyzed, though he can stand for a few seconds and moves his legs when hes in his wheelchair. Hes incontinent and needsdiapers/belly bandsandmanual bladder expression, but hes surprisingly cooperative. Hes great about holding his poop until bladder time (thank you, Bane!), and he does well in his belly band about95% of the time. At night, Bane sleepsin the bed like the VIP he is. If hes expressed well before bedtime and wears his belly band, he can hold it overnight. His Ideal Home Bane is looking for a home with: Experience with paralyzed dogsand bladder expression No stairs Minimal cement, as scooting on concrete can scrape his legs He currently lives with several other dogs and does fine, but we think he would truly shine in a home withfewer dogsor even as an only dogwhere he can soak up more attention. He would also be happy withone or two calm dog friends. A Little Extra TLC Because Bane was previously deprived of food and water, he now does best withfrequent access to waterand regular meals. Since having consistent access, hes much more relaxed and content. The Bottom Line Bane may need some extra care, but what he gives back isabsolutely worth it. Hes sweet, loving, gentle, and resilientand hes ready for a home that sees how special he truly is. If youre looking for a dog who will steal your bed, your heart, and probably your snacks,Bane is your guy.
