Joker is a young Rottweiler with a serious story. At just a year and a half old, he has already spent most of his life in foster care, working through the tough reality of being born with severe hip dysplasia. He’s undergone intensive surgery (FHO) to give him a better shot at a pain-free life, and he’s still in the thick of rehab—walking short distances, doing daily stretches, and heading to water therapy each week to keep building muscle. You’ll notice Joker’s gait isn’t perfect, and adopters need real commitment: his routine isn’t going away, and future orthopedic issues are possible. But Joker is more than his diagnosis. He’s making gains, has a solid foster support system, and what he needs most is someone willing to join the team for the long haul. If you’ve been searching for a genuinely special dog to invest in, Joker might very well be the one. He’ll remain with his foster unless his next person is ready to carry on the rehab journey. All pets in the adopting home must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, and on heartworm prevention. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
