Sweet Pea

Sweet Pea came to us from Arkansas where her family had surrendered her as a young puppy saying the mom dog stepped on her. Based on x-rays, Sweet Pea has a spinal deformity that our vet believes was a genetic issue and not one due to trauma. She is rear paralyzed, but loves her cart! She does not know when she needs or is going potty. We do express her several times a day to keep her comfortable, clean, and dry. She does wear a diaper when she is not in her crate.

She gets along with other dogs, cats, and kids. She absolutely loves all people and has never met a stranger. We did a DNA test on her and her main breed came back as American Pit Bull Terrier, although we were told the mom was some kind of shepherd mix. She is petite - only about 35 lbs and not super stocky. Sweet Pea was guessed to be born in April of 2022, so she is still young. She loves to play with the other dogs and has a good energy. Sweet Pea's adoption donation has been waived to a qualified home. She will come with her special crate, wheelchair, and harness.
