Tybee

Tybee is our black and tan mini purebred Doxie picked up from Coweta County by AC. He is probably just under 2 years old. He is paralyzed in his back two legs, and we are not sure if he is a surgery candidate. There is an experimental program at UGA and we are desperately trying to get him into it! In order to get him healthy and ready, we are trying to raise funds to remove a tumor he has on his shoulder, blood work, X-Rays which is all needed for the UGA study!

GHS purchased his wheelchair, which he is still working on. He can do it, just does NOT love it! It has made him mobile though! He gets along with everyone and he is a sweetie. He is the nicest little guy you could ever imagine. He lets me do anything to him, as I have to extract his bladder several times a day, treat his wounds, etc...He gives kisses, but he does not wag his tail, which one day we hope he can do!

This is a picture of him in his stroller which I use to help him get around!

Nike is an AWESOME kitten. He enjoys being rocked like a baby or chasing toys. He is fun, loving, spunky, and cute. He is full of energy, playful, and very social so he needs a home with another fun animal (cat or dog!)! Nike is also very sweet and comes when you call him (how rare!) and also takes breaks while he is playing to check in with you for a good head scratch…he really is a darling boy! We are currently working on leash training with Nike and it is going great...wouldn't you like a cat you can walk!? Nike is at the adoption center at the Petsmart on Howell Mill Road. His adoption Donation includes all vetting for a full year (neuter/microchip/rabies/kittenvaccines/dewormed/flea-tick preventative/and lots of TLC!)
