We’re looking for a foster for handsome, sweet little Marty McFly.

Marty is five years old and was in a shelter. When we heard he had Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), a condition of the spinal cord, we wanted to help. Because he came from a shelter, we don’t know how long he has been affected. He can walk, but his back legs stumble a bit. Although he can physically walk, he is on restricted movement for three weeks to see if rest and medication therapy will be what he needs to heal, or whether we need to explore surgical options. He is not supposed to walk, run, or jump, yet he tries to do all of them. 😩 He currently stays in a playpen in our director’s living room, so he is rarely alone. When you talk to him he gets so excited he starts to bounce around, which is cute but no jumping. 😩 He is a bit vocal and lets you know when he needs to potty or wants to eat. He is carried outside and placed in another enclosure to go potty and sunbathe. It is important that he not be allowed on the ground because he will take off running. 😩 He does seem to have some urinary incontinence, but we can stock you up with all the belly bands in the world. 😉 You do not need to be experienced in IVDD if you are experienced in ➡️ following instructions. We will teach you and will provide you with any tools necessary to help care for him, and we pay for all vet bills. What a WIN! 🎉 If rest and relaxation don’t do the trick, Marty will be in foster for an extended period of time while we work with the vet to determine next steps.
