Needs to be in a home with other dogs.

Hes a little bit rock and roll!

Donny doesnt let his challenges prevent him from being a typical GSD puppy.

He likes to play, wrestle, chew and have a good time.

Donny and his sibling, Marie, were in a shelter with little chance of adoption when Saving Paws stepped in to save them.

Both have been diagnosed with Bilateral Straight Leg.

The condition affects both hind limbs that do not allow the joints to flex in a way that is needed to have a normal gait.

It doesnt mean that they cannot walk.

Donnys condition is more significant, so he is learning to use a wheelchair.

He is learning to move in his chair and explores his world every day.

Donny has a strong personality and loves to be with other dogs.

He has done well with male and female dogs.

His foster to adopt home will be best to have a lot of carpet or flooring with good traction.

Non-skid rugs or Yoga mats work amazing to help him move around.

Donny has been working with a swimming rehabilitation therapist to build his core strength to better help him ambulate.

Donny isnt a special needs dog, but rather a gifted puppy looking for a special home.

A home that

is willing to help him continue on his path to independent mobility while looking at him as just another GSD puppy that needs training, love and exercise.

Dogs with this diagnosis are often able to learn to walk with a more bunny hop method as they are stronger.

It is not known if Donny will always require the assistance of a wheelchair.

Donny is able to slide around when hes not in his chair to get where he needs to go.
