Owner's Name: Sandy Hoofprints
Dog's Name: Crazy Equals Genius // Wilson
Other pets and their personalities: Uma and Elton can be found here
Are you willing to put in the time and effort to train your new dog? Yes! (see more below)
Do you know what heartworms are and how they are prevented?Heart worms to put it simply are parasites that travel through the tissues of a dog as larvae and eventually grow into worms in the heart. They can prove fatal if untreated. Thankfully heartworm is not found here, but if this pup is coming from an endemic area he'll have needed to take one of the many heartworm preventative medicines.
Are you willing to make any changes or special alterations in order to accommodate any special needs your new dog may have?:Of course we will accommodate Wilson in every way he needs. Though tripawd dogs are able to lead almost completely normal lives we will have small ways to help him. And he will also have training issues no doubt so we will work hard to address those now to prevent any problems cropping up later.
What may be a reason that you would return this dog?:
- We would ensure this bubbly energetic boy is not left to roam in places where he could overestimate his abilities and injure himself. He will get loads of supervised exercise when he wants it.
- We have looked into potential activities like swimming which would be easier for him and will keep him fit without being too strenuous. We might even get him a cute doggie float coat (life jacket). We appreciate that we must prepare to own an older tripawd dog someday who will need more support too. other ideas
- With his traumatic experience with traffic we're not sure he'll be going near a road anytime soon, but we walk all our dogs on leads anywhere unenclosed outside the kennel compound. We will keep a special eye and a short lease on Wilson to be sure he is not stressed out by traffic, and we will take it slow to get him used to being inside a car as the noise and enclosed space may frighten him the first time.
- He will have a special harness along the lines of this (XXX) which has a small handle and thick comfortable straps so there is no excess pressure on his chest. It will also be far away from touching his freshly healing wound/scar to start with. This will only be necessary when he's exercising not if he's lying about the house. We will look into buying one with a bigger handle if we were to do any strenuous activities with him (XXX) this one which spreads his weight well is more ideal than one which puts a lot of pressure around his stomach, and will work because he still has the top part of his leg to put the hip strap around once it's all healed, otherwise a simple one would suit his needs fine.
- He deserves to be spoilt after his rough start so unlike the other working dogs he'll sleep in the house over night if that is where he's happiest, and we will assess if he would be better in the house or out in a spacious run with a few of the others (if he misses other canine company) during the day. There is a good range of orthopaedic beds if he finds it hard to get comfortable immediately post-op.
Only if some serious unforeseen problem arose. We have two huskies at Ocean Dance so far and they both are very quiet, gentle and easy-going. I am sure they would welcome him to the team family! Since meeting him we know that he is absolutely lovely and before we bring him home we plan to take him on a walk and playtime with our other two to make sure they do indeed get along c:
