Herk - special needs love bug!

This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally. **Please read Herk's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Herk, a remarkable just over 1-year-old Lab/Boxer mix weighing 48 pounds. Despite a challenging past, Herk is a resilient soul with a heartwarming story. Herk’s journey began tragically when he was found with his two back legs bound together, causing irreparable damage. Luckily for him, someone noticed him and brought him to a rescue. He underwent successful amputation and has since made a full recovery, mastering the use of his wheelchair with ease. Despite his ordeal, Herk has not lost his zest for life. He loves nothing more than playing with other dogs and eagerly signals when he wants outdoor adventures. His friendly demeanor extends to dogs of all sizes, and he has won over the hearts of everyone he meets, including veterinary staff who have cared for him. Herk's resilience and loving nature make him truly one-of-a-kind. He is ready to embark on a new chapter of life filled with love and comfort, where he can enjoy the luxuries he deserves after overcoming such adversity. If you're looking to welcome a special companion into your home, Herk is waiting to share his unconditional love and joy with you. Herk's adoption fee has been donated in memory of another GDRNE dog. All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
