My story

Meet Krypto: A Special Dog Looking for a Special Home! Krypto’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. Surrendered to the shelter with his brother, he watched as his sibling was adopted right away—while he was left behind. Not only is Krypto deaf, but he also came in with a limp in his front left leg and major skin issues. Due to his medical needs, he was placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, a dedicated volunteer brought Krypto’s situation to our attention, and Maison Sure stepped in to save him! He was immediately taken to CARES, where he was examined by both an emergency veterinarian and a board-certified surgeon. Krypto was diagnosed with a severe skin infection (which has since been treated), and X-rays revealed severe elbow dysplasia in his left front leg. Unfortunately, because it wasn’t treated when he was a puppy, his elbow developed abnormally, leading to early-onset arthritis. Surgery is no longer an option, but we are actively working on arthritis treatments to help manage his condition and improve his comfort. Despite everything, Krypto’s spirit shines bright! He is an incredibly smart and loving dog who is thriving in his foster home. He enjoys short walks, snuggling with his foster brothers, and playtime. His wonderful fosters, who are also deaf, have been teaching him sign language cues—and they are eager to help his future family continue his training! Krypto is looking for a forever home that will embrace his unique needs and love him for the incredible dog he is. If you’re ready to open your heart to this special boy, Krypto will return your love tenfold. Will you be the one to give Krypto the happy ending he deserves?
