Meet Axel!
Axel is a young, German Wire Haired Pointer who sustained a spinal cord injury about 1&1/2 years ago. She has been going through rehabilitation, but is still unable to walk on her own. She can take a few steps if she is not too excited, but likes to drag her hind end. She is strong and can stand on her own. She does take walks in her cart and loves to play with other dogs. She also needs helps urinating, but has gotten used to this.
Axel’s owner is no longer able to care for her and she is in a very temporary foster home. She has 2 weeks to find her second home before she is euthanized!
Whomever becomes her person needs to be willing to manage her special needs, including helping her urinate, protecting her skin on her hind limbs, helping her into her cart, helping her into standing, and continuing her rehabilitation. This is a tall order, but we are desperately seeking someone to save this sweet girl!
