Puppy with paralysis on CL north Chicagoland HELP - Page 1

chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pet/2217000061.html


I unfortunately have no choice but to give up my six month old male German Shepherd pup. His back legs are paralyzed and he has been this way since he was eight weeks old. I was working in real estate, but due to the economy have had to take a full time job that keeps me away from home 10-12 hours a day, which is not fair to him. There is a possibility that the paralysis is not permanent, but I can no longer afford the care that he needs.

I refuse to take him to a shelter, as I don't want him spending his life locked in a cage. If anyone has any suggestions I am extremely open to exploring all options. However, those of you who feel you need to email me hateful things, please know that what I respond will not be nice. I am doing the best I can for the pup, and am trying to do what's best for him.

There will be a rehoming fee so that I can make sure he goes to a good home. If you would like photos or more information, please let me know.

Thanks.


I cannot possibly take this puppy into my home at the moment but I contacted the poster for more info. Ingleside is in Lake County. I know we have a ton of posters/lurkers in that area, please, can anyone go get this puppy?

PTS

Without ever meeting the dog, and going off the diagnosis of a pet owner who has allowed this to go on for four months? Hardly fair.

A trainer I know rescued a terrier that was thrown out of a moving vehicle. Her neck was fractured and she was told by a VERY GOOD general practice vet the dog would never be normal, never run or play and always walk with pain.

After treatment with top rehabilitative specialists the dog is living a normal life, can absolutely run and play.
