bones
Male-shepherd mix
Age: March 2024 | Weight: 20kg
CURRENTLY FOSTERED IN SEATTLE
Bones walked himself right to someone’s home in Puerto Vallarta. The man was getting ready for work but knew he couldn’t leave him. He protected him then took him to a vet. We saw his post on facebook as needing help, so of course we said yes! He was at our shelter where he received some much needed rest, proper nutrition and lots of love. He loves being around other dogs and is a happy boy who is very affectionate with people.
Bones flew to a prospective adopter in Seattle in early December. After arriving, he seemed to have a limp with a front leg, which we did notice while in our care, nor did our vet. We authorized for him to have a vet visit and xrays. The vet said he has some osteochondrosis in both front shoulders and an elbow. Most likely due to how rapidly he has grown since we received him. He was given a short round of anti-inflammatories and is on a joint supplement. We don’t know if he will need the supplements long term but they could be quite helpful. Once his growing slows down there’s a good chance he will have no issues, however, it’s something any prospective adopter should know about. He is currently potty trained and doing better with the leash every day. You may not find a nicer boy than Bones.
