Curly, Born 4/14/11 Male Retriever  Mix Curly is an eleven month old, 55 lb Retriever mix with a gentle spirit. He has been in foster care while he has been growing and healing from an injury resulting in ACL surgery. His father was a Retriever and his mother a medium size mix breed of maybe Border Collie or sporting breed. He has good manners and is very social with everyone. He has dog friends in the neighborhood; he likes kids and cats. Curly enjoys hanging outside to have the wind in his face. He relishes a good bone or a cookie filled Kong. He likes being with his foster family [currently an adult and another dog.] He loves his belly rubbed. His story is he came up from Indiana with his siblings who have since been adopted. Curly was having chiropractic care and PT for his injured hind leg before seeing an orthopedic vet. He needed surgery on his knee but his bones needed to grow more before he could have the surgery, so we’ve had him in foster care for awhile. His surgery was Feb. 16th and he just had his three week post surgery check up. The doctor said his progress is great. [She was surprised at how well his is doing.] The holistic protocol and raw diet is doing wonders for his healing. He is still healing so he has some restrictions but when he is all healed there will be no restrictions. He has three short walks a day with more minutes added each week while the strength returns to his leg. The vet says that lots of stairs are not in his best interest. He is a great snuggler.
