Special Needs

A dog can be special needs for physical or emotional reasons. 

A dog who has an illness or medical condition is an example of a physical SPECIAL NEEDS MEDICAL dog.  This can be as simple as needing a pill once or twice a day for the rest of his life.  Sometimes it's a more serious illness.  When we rescue a dog, we work very hard to meet the dog's needs.  If you're a person who asks "what can I do to help a dog", you may be an excellent candidate for this sort of dog.

A dog who is profoundly SHY is an example of a dog with an SPECIAL NEEDS EMOTIONAL dog.  Usually this is a dog who was not handled as a pup or who was owned by a human who didn't take time to work with him/her.  The best home for this sort of dog is an all adult home that is relatively quiet.  Not for the human social butterflies!!  If your front door has a sign that reads "The Dog Lives Here...You Don't"  you MIGHT be a great candidate for this dog. 

This category of dog is for the human who is looking to make a difference!
