Rescue For Life

Hobo Henry

Hi Everyone!

It's Hobo Henry here! I was sitting at the Parkland Pound and noone claimed me so the kind folks at Rescue for Life are giving me my second chance. Some kind folks that have fed me for years at a summer village (I would run 20km everyday to them to get food) called the Parkland Pound after I was found with hundreds of quills in my face. I have a long story to tell but I'm going to just give you a few details here. You will have to call Rescue for Life and come visit me to learn my whole story!

As you can see, I am a tripod. I lost my leg many years ago and I have managed to survive running many kilometers (20km-30km) a day just looking for food. Without the help of Rescue for Life and some other kind folks I probably would not be here today. In addition, over the past few years I have taken care of Marco but we are not looking for a home together.

I am medium-large size dog and I am middle-aged. I have to tell you that having three legs does not slow me down at all. I LOVE going for walks and I am getting used to walking on the leash.

I am neutered, up-to-date on my vaccinations, and my training has been started. If my forever home has another dog, I would prefer my buddy to be a female.

I am really really hoping that for the first time in my life I could spend the holidays with my new family. I've never had a family to dote on me and I know I'd really enjoy that. In return, you will get lots of snuggle time with me. My perfect family would give me lots of walks, provide a kennel for me, have a 6ft fenced area, take me to an obedience class, give me lots of snuggles, and maybe have a doggy friend I could be friends with.

If you are interested in adopting me please contact Rescue for Life at (780) 702-6151 or info@rescue4life.org

Hello Everyone!

Update (May 20, 2009): I have a problem with my spine that involves a narrowing of a portion of it that makes me walk funny. I am special needs but I am not in any pain. Instead of long walks, I like little ones! I let you know what my limitations are! I need to make sure I don't eat too much since the less weight on me the better since it is easier for me! I would rather cuddle with you on the sofa! Please give us a call to talk more about me! I am now spayed and had my rear dewclaws removed!

Update (May 9, 2009): As I have grown up it has become more and more obvious that I am a very special needs girl. I have been seen by several vets and specialists. I have problems with my backlegs - they are very straight and I am weak in my back end. My x-rays appear to be normal of my legs but I will be going in for an x-ray of my spine. My weakness may have been caused by being hit on the back (I did appear fearful of people when I first came in - especailly when eating) or I may have spinal bifida. A specialist will be looking at me lat this week. I don't appear to be in any pain - I just walk very funny. I have a lot of problems going up and down stairs and I would rather cuddle than go for a long walk. I like playing with other dogs (more romping, than chasing) and I like the cat in my foster home.

You're not going to believe this....but I was thrown out in a parking lot and a kind man picked me up and brought me into a pet store where I was then placed with Rescue for Life. Now I can look forward to finding a really good home that will always love me.

When I first came in I was covered in insulation and debris. But I got a bath and was groomed and now l look very pretty! I like playing but I also like sleeping!

I am a Great Pyr cross with some Husky and Collie in me - I have double rear dew claws. I am going to be a big fluffy girl (about 70 pounds) when I am full grown. I want to be in an indoor/outdoor family member and I will need you to brush me everyday so that my fur does not get matted!

Please contact Rescue for Life at info@rescue4life.org or (780) 702-6151 if you are interested in having me join your family.

My adoption package will include my spay, vaccinations, all required vet work, and basic obedience.
