Weebles

My story

*I'm located in Georgia but can be transported* Name: Weebles Breed: Vizsla Mix Sex/Age/Weight: Male/estimated 1 year old/50lbs at the moment but still growing Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventatives House trained/Crate Trained: No training yet, but I have had to stay in a big crate since I was found because of my medical needs. I do pretty good at not going to the bathroom inside of the cage, with a few little accidents. Dogs/Cats/Children: Has not been tested with cats or children, but can be tested upon request. Weebles has had very controlled interactions with other dogs mostly because of his injuries, so I don’t want to mess up his current PT progress. He seems very interested in playing with other dogs though. Energy Level: Very high- I am a super-active dog who needs a high-energy owner Before FAR/My History: I was found 5/25/2024 on the side of a road next to an orchard lying beside a laundry basket with a tarp. My humans don’t know if someone dumped me but it looks that way. I had been hit by a car some months earlier and my legs didn’t work right. I was very skinny and hungry. I had femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO surgery) on 6/20/2024 on my back right leg to fix all the problems caused by the accident and the subsequent medical neglect. I am in rehab right now for my hip. Things are going well, but on 8/11/2024 I re-broke my elbow. Apparently I had broken it in the original incident but it had healed over before I was found and had surgery. With this minor setback, I will have to stay on cage rest for a bit longer while my leg and elbow recover, but I am looking forward to running injury-free soon. Training Status/Commands I know: Sit and Touch the open hand to get a treat/food instead of leaping for the food Working on: Everything- I am trying to learn a lot while I do rehab, but some exercises will have to wait until after treatment. I have puppy energy, but I am working on channeling it into being a good dog. Things I like: Playtime! Any interaction is playtime to me. I am always ready to run and explore which I can’t do much of because of my leg, but once I am healed – lookout! I definitely still have puppy energy, but I am an active breed. I love chew toys and treats and if I can sit still long enough, I love belly scratches. Things I don’t like: I don’t like to be left out. It is hard to watch the other dogs run when you’re on the injured list, but I really like going on walks with others. If you are doing something, I want to be right there doing it with you. I need constant interaction and stimulation so that I don’t get bored. Things that make my humans happy: My happiness even though I’ve been through so much. I go to my doctor appointments with the same attitude that I go to get a pup cup, just happy to see everyone and everything. My name is Weebles because I wobble but I don’t fall down, physically or figuratively. I am always a happy pup. Ideal Family/Home: Right now I am still a mystery. I haven’t gotten to play with other dogs or people other than my humans because of my surgery restrictions, but soon I will start interacting with the other fosters and we will see my true personality shine.
