DARDEN
Hello!! My name is Darden and I am proud to say that I am a Lone Star dog, up for adoption and ready for my forever home! I am a sweet 1 ½ year old Lhasa Apso boy. I have a beautiful short beige coat and a beautiful “pup”onality to match! My foster mom says that I am a doll!
I was rescued by a Good Samaritan who discovered that I was living outside, instead of inside, my first home. She also noticed that I had a limp. When the Volunteers at Lone Star got me they had me checked out by a veterinarian who said that I have Legg Perthe Syndrome. That’s a degenerative disease of the hip joint, but I want to tell you that it doesn’t slow me down one bit! I got an artificial hip, but unfortunately it would not stay in the hip socket, so I still have it, but my hip is not quite right. I don’t notice that I have any problems and play as long and as hard as all my foster brothers and sisters. I will probably have to have surgery on my hip sometime in the future due to this problem.
Everyone thinks that I am one great little guy. I love everyone and love to play with everyone. I think I could be the perfect dog for your family if you are willing take on my special need.
Please contact my foster mom at adoptioninquiries@yahoogroups.com and also check out my very own Petfinder page. I promise that I will love you forever if you give me my “fur”ever home!
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.
