Other:   Spayed Female, Vaccinations current, Microchip, No Cats ** Bebop has been diagnosed with suspect Cerebellar Hypoplasia Cerebellar hypoplasia in dogs is a condition characterized by the inadequate development of the cerebellum. Since the cerebellum is responsible for fine-tuning motor movements, affected pets will be unable to move or even stand still normally. In dogs Cerebellar hypoplasia is typically a hereditary disease. Typically this disease is not degenerative, meaning that the severity of the symptoms shown are unlikely to become more severe. Bebop retains enough coordination and control over their movements to perform basic functions, she should live a good quality of life. While there is no cure or treatment for this condition, they learn to compensate for their condition and go on to live a long, happy, and pain free life. Poor coordination means these dogs may require additional attention, however they can be happy, loving companions. Bebop is ready to dance into your heart! Foster Home Feedback ** No Cats 5/5/2026 Volunteer Feedback: Put simply—I ADORE this very special young dog. Bebop is just the most gentle and loving soul who wants nothing more than to be as close to you as possible, but without being pushy or annoying. She is truly a very special snowflake in that she has a neurological impairment that seems to mostly affect her close vision/depth perception…and that causes a quirky gait while walking. But rest assured, these neurological symptoms do not keep her from enjoying a normal life in the least. Bebop and I have been attending adoption events and she is always so happy to meet everyone. Sadly, she is still waiting for a foster and living at the shelter, so we haven’t known how she behaves in a home. I finally had an opportunity to take her for a two night stay at our lake cabin…and now I’m able to tell you she was almost perfect!! Bebop loves to play with toys and can amuse herself nicely. When I was busy cleaning she played, took a nap or just calmly watched me from her kennel. When I read or watched tv she would check in for some cuddles and pets, but then go play with one of her squeaky toys or gnaw on a bone. Bebop had zero accidents, kenneled quietly all night, has mastered the sit command, rides quietly in a vehicle and walks with a minimum of pulling. With her vision, a home with a fenced yard would be a real plus for Bebop so she can be free to explore and use up some energy. She wants to celebrate doing her successful pottying with the zoomies and on leash that isn’t easy! I also think a home on one level or with minimal steps would be good. She had no trouble going down a few steps to the grass at the lake…but I know negotiating the steep steps in our older two story in town would be dangerous for her. Bebop has successfully met some dogs and has been participating in some pack walks…but her inability to read other dogs cues or bumping into them can be off putting. She would thrive best as an only pet or with a tolerant and easy going resident pet. Living at the shelter is very stressful, confining and I am sure confusing for sweet Bebop; and I am so hopeful if you are reading this you might consider adopting or even fostering her. She has been good with all ages of kids, but because she might inadvertently knock over toddlers, I think middle elementary age or older would be best. I am in my early 70’s and I also think Bebop would be a great companion for a retired person! She is so sweet and gentle…if you look into her eyes on her pictures I know you will see it too! 3/24/2026 Volunteer Feedback: Bebop is a truly special girl with the sweetest spirit. She is easy‑going and affectionate; she’s the kind of dog who fits effortlessly into almost any home. Her favorite place to be is right beside her people, soaking up love and offering it right back. Bebop does have a bit of wobble to her step, similar to a young puppy finding their balance. She may lose her footing here and there, but she always catches herself and continues on without missing a beat. Her unsteady gait doesn’t hold her back from enjoying life: she eats, drinks, stands, and goes on walks just like any other dog. She simply appreciates a little extra time to navigate new environments. Bebop loves her walks, enjoys a good game of fetch, and thrives on human connection. Whether you’re heading out to explore nature or settling in for a quiet day at home, Bebop is happiest just being with her person. Bebop is more than ready to find a family who will adore her as much as she’ll adore them. She has so much love to give and deserves a home where she can feel safe, cherished, and included in everyday life. To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: .4luvofdog
