UPDATE:  Lucky is available for adoption!  His new family must be willing to work with VGSR and the surgeon's recommendation on what is best for his leg.  It has turned out to be a long wait for the appointment with the surgeon, and we don't want to continue to keep Lucky from bonding with his future family.   

Meet Lucky! This adorable little fellow is a special needs boy who was born with a stiff back leg.  Xrays have been done and we wait for surgeons to determine if surgery will help this sweet little baby.  Lucky doesn't know he is special needs, though. He runs and plays just like any other puppy.  He may be a bit slower, but he will get there!  Lucky is not quite ready for adoption, but when he is, we will be looking for the family just right for him.  He LOVES his foster brother and sister (although she doesn't love him lol).  He will do great with a companion he can play with, and he does great with kids. Lucky loves toys!  Squeaky toys, crinkly toys, balls, ropes, tug of war, and especially... sticks!  Watch out for the typical baby shark teeth, but he is learning to gnaw the toy instead of the hand. He is doing great at potty training, and is already crate trained. He is learning how to walk on a leash, and is doing great at going up and down steps. So far he has mastered about 5 steps, both up and down.  

Lucky will need a very patient family, who will love him unconditionally and teach him to be a well mannered, loving boy, regardless of a stiff leg or a leg that may need physical therapy.  We want his family to know how lucky they are to have him. Lucky is a LIFE LONG commitment, as all dogs are, and puppies are a lot of work. The love, loyalty, and companionship far outweighs the work in the end.
