therapy! She's gained so much leg strength and worked hard on connecting her brain to her hind legs. She is no longer considered a special needs pup and doesn't require any follow-up care. Her gait is still a bit uncoordinated, especially when she's moving fast and not concentrating, but she gets around and keeps up with all the other dogs in her foster home with no problem! Update 2/26: Emi has come leaps and bounds in the last few weeks! She’s now able to stand up, walk, run, and even pull herself up on the couch, all by herself! She’s very wobbly still but we’re confident that physical therapy will help her get back to having the mobility of a normal dog. She has full control over her pottying and will even go to the door when she needs to go out. She’s fostered with several other dogs, a cat, and two young kids, and she does amazing with them all. We received an urgent plea from the shelter about Emi, a sweet girl who was set to be euthanized due to her medical needs and the shelter lacking the resources to properly care for her. We couldn't bear the thought of letting this beautiful soul face death simply because of her disability, so we jumped into action and welcomed her to Nirvana! Please meet Emi, whose name means "beautiful blessing" in Japanese - a perfect name for a dog who deserves all the blessings in the world. She came into a rural shelter as a stray without the use of her hind legs, dragging herself around on the cold street. Despite this, she maintained a sweet and gentle demeanor, allowing shelter staff and the vet to examine and handle her. Upon arrival in PA to foster care, we discovered she was suffering from a skin infection around her hind end, likely caused by sitting in her own waste for prolonged periods of time. She's been treated with antibiotics and is feeling so much better and clean in foster care! Emi has already shown improvement in the brief time she's been in our care. She's able to drag herself around quite well and gets her own version of the zoomies, or "scooties," when excited! Her x-rays show extra bone grown in her spinal vertebrae, likely caused in the healing process to some sort of trauma which we assume caused her paralysis. She will see a vet neurologist in the coming weeks to determine a treatment plan and assess if her paralysis is permanent.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
