🌟 Meet Dorian, a delightful 28 lb. German Shepherd/Hound mix whose journey is just getting started! Rescued from a shelter in North Carolina, this brave boy is navigating some orthopedic challenges affecting his rear legs. But let me tell you: he is doing exceptionally well! With guidance from our amazing orthopedic specialist, we're in an optimistic "wait and see" phase. Dorian has responded beautifully to high-quality puppy food and supplements recommended by the vet. This guy's a fighter! 💪 Before joining our family, Dorian spent a week in a loving foster home, where he quickly became the star of the show! 🎉 His foster family said, "Dorian has been an absolute joy to have! He’s a sweet, playful pup who fits perfectly into our busy household with three young children aged 4 to 10. His daily tug-of-war games with his big dog brother are *hilarious*, and their playful zoomies light up the room!" Dorian is not just a playful spirit; he walks beautifully on a leash, making neighborhood strolls a breeze! 🏃‍♂️ At home, he’s that affectionate companion who thrives on love and attention, never straying far from your side. When it's time for bed, Dorian settles snugly in his crate and sleeps soundly through the night. He has bursts of energy like any young pup, but with a good play session or a trusty chew toy, he knows how to relax and unwind! 😌 Now, as Dorian starts settling into his new environment at PWD, it’s clear he has a wonderful temperament with both pups and people. With continued care and monitoring, we are hopeful for an incredibly bright future for this amazing boy! And guess what? If Dorian ever needs surgery or advanced medical care for his orthopedic condition, PWD will be there every step of the way, committed to his well-being for life. 💖 So, potential adopters, if your heart is ready to open up to this remarkable dog, *please apply through the Buddy App*! Dorian is waiting for someone to share his journey with, and he can’t wait to meet you! 🐾
