Nemo ~ Frenchie/Bulldog mix ~ 23 lbs ~ DOB: 06/23/22

Nemo

Nemo was bought from a back yard breeder who was recklessly breeding Frenchies and Bulldogs. This little guy was born on 6/23/22 with swimmers syndrome. To learn what swimmers syndrome is, click here Swimmers Syndrome Swimmer puppies can usually recover with an early diagnosis and physical therapy. Nemo did not get treatment for the first 5 months of his life and his prior family eventually took him in to be euthanized. Leslie, a dog physical therapist, stepped in to get him and asked our group to back her while she helps Nemo improve as much as possible. Leslie fosters Nemo and he goes to PT 3 times a week where he swims, gets stretched and learns how to use his wheels. He is borrowing a chair until he finishes growing and then he will get a custom chair made for him. Nemo is adorable and has determination in him! This little guy will steal your heart when you meet him. He will be a wheel chair dog for life and his custom chair will be purchased by our group. We will be fundraising for that shortly. In the mean time, Nemo has seen our Vet and Dr. Sebestyen from Veterinary Surgical Specialists and the consensus is… nothing to do but PT and help Nemo function to the best of his ability. Nemo has been vaccinated, neutered and chipped. Please see his videos above to see how he started out with us and how he is doing now.

Nemo is in foster care and seen by appointment only with an approved application. If you are interested, just click the application link below to apply.
