This gorgeous boy needs a family that is OK with a baby that’s not quite perfect. We weren’t home when this litter was born. Most of the time we are but sometimes we just can’t be there due to work. Usually things go perfectly but this time there was an issue. We got home a few hours later and his umbilical cord was wrapped around the toes on one of his back feet. Unfortunately, the blood supply had already been lost and he ended up losing all of his toes. Despite this, he continued to nurse great and he grew and thrived. He has been checked by our vet, who does lots of orthopedic work with dogs, and he said that since he did not lose his main foot pad he should adapt just fine. Toes are for gripping so the only place that he really has any challenges is on super slick floors, and he will adapt as he spends more time on smooth, slick surfaces. Ideally, this guy would love to live in a home with carpet in at least some of the floors so he doesn’t need that grip all the time. A rubber boot would also help him on those surfaces as he gets bigger. Personality wise he is amazing. He is calm, quiet, and just wants to sit next to you and be loved most of the time. If you think this perfectly imperfect little man would be a good fit for your family.
