Saybo is one special dude! Saybo is a survivor of IVDD and needs a little help getting on to furniture and into his wheelchair so he can cruise around a little more quickly. He does have some season allergies that requires a daily anti-itch medication and weekly or bi-weekly medicated baths to help keep his itchies at bay.
Saybo might look like he needs a lot of extra attention, but he is here to prove just how independent he is. Saybo can use his legs about 60% of time but don’t let the other 40% fool you; he’s fast when he uses just his front legs! Saybo has his wheelchair to help with outdoor activities and does really well getting around in there! Saybo is house trained but needs to be monitored to make sure he fully finished his business outside. He does wear a belly band indoors some of the time in case he springs a leak ;)
Saybo is great with other dogs, cats, and love attention from children. Saybo is the perfect dog to just chill with. Most of the time during most of his days, you can find him on his foster parents ottoman lounging the day away and enjoying any snuggles he can get. Saybo LOVES his food and is extremely food motivated. He will hunt down his foster brothers' food bowls and enjoy both of them if his foster parents aren't quick enough to get to them first... Because of his love for food he is on a diet.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
