Specially-abled Dog
We all felt sorry for this little fella when he was found in a box on the side of the road. With all his legs deformed, we didn’t think he could walk at all. He was clearly another product of breeding gone wrong, and when his owner realized he was never going to bring them any profit, they decided to discard him like garbage 🙁
We decided to foster him right away. We named him Skater because we planned to build a skateboard-type of device so he could walk around. However, we discovered that he didn’t need one at all — at least, not yet.
Because he’s different, he is prone to sores on his limbs and it takes a lot of effort for him to climb even small steps. He may need an assistive device when he gets older, but for now he’s just grateful to be out of that awful box and enjoying farm life with his furry siblings.

Skater doesn’t really need much, but we do try to give him all his favorite things to keep that beautiful smile on his face. He loves wet dog food, Dentastix, and unlimited belly scratches. Would you like to be his BFF?
