Meet Baldo, a 21/2 year old beautiful shepherd mix. He was an owner surrender to a Shelter, emaciated and not bearing any weight at all on his left hind leg. We don’t know much about his life before being rescued with us but his foster Robyn has nursed him back to health with TLC , including a healthy diet to which he has gained 20 well needed pounds, filling out to show off his good looks! He also has been administered appropriate vaccinations and treatments. Despite all of this, he is a sweet, well behaved boy that is experiencing some temporary medical needs. He is being a really good boy about being crated most of the time (due to treatment restrictions) and is very gentle and loving with his foster. This is very hard for him too because he wants so badly to interact with other dogs. He had an extensive ACL tear in his left hind leg which required a costly surgery. Post surgery, Baldo is doing great, but he has to be kept still and crated to allow his leg to heal properly. Throughout all of this he has exhibited an even temperament, loves to snuggle, obeys his Foster Mom and Dad, enjoys being pet and playing quietly with his toys. All and all, he has a very loving nature and indeed is a BRAVE boy! Recovery time is almost finished but his quality of life after that will be so much better. Our choice was ever to amputate or keep and repair his leg which we did. Baldo is sweet with everyone even at the vet and of course loves dogs little and big. If you would like to make him part of your family please contact us. He is a total Sweetheart
His adoption is $290
