TOAD

Answers to FAQ about Princeton:
•Age - young, estimated 2-3 yrs old
•Male - neutered
•Size - 21 lbs (easy to lift, likes to be held and carried)
•IVDD - he has limited hind limb function, but he is able to walk and play despite minimal use of his hind legs
•Potty - he is incontinent. He can’t control when he pees or poops, so he wears diapers. He does NOT need to have his bladder expressed. I change him 4x day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime) and I give him about 4 hrs of diaper-free “air time” on a washable mat each morning in my home office.
•Pain - fortunately, he doesn’t appear to have any pain in his spine
•Health - apart from his IVDD, he’s a healthy boy! He came into rescue with some challenges - ear infection, itchy skin, paw wounds - but now he’s feeling good and looking beautiful thanks to some TLC! His ears are clear, his allergies improved with a cytopoint injection and switching to a limited ingredient diet, and his paw wounds are almost completely healed. He breathes very well for a bulldog. He’s doing great 😊
•Diet - Nulo limited ingredient kibble 2x/day. He’s a hearty eater! He uses an elevated bowl for feeding and he stands himself up in his own way.
•Social - he has always lived with other dogs and I can tell he’s a bit lonely here as an “only”. He would love to have a dog buddy or two, around his size, to play with!
•Future care - it would be ideal to keep him in weekly physical therapy and/or home exercises to work toward improving his hind end mobility. I think he would do well in a wheelchair too, and I’ll be talking to the vet about it on Friday!
•Adoption - available to adopt anywhere in the US and Canada. Too large to fly in a carrier, but he can fly in cabin on JSX, or he can drive (he is a great roadtrip companion! He was a perfect passenger on the way to San Diego from Vegas).
