More about *DAN

Dan (A568624) Dan is my favorite dog at the shelter right now. He’s small, unassuming and holds his left paw up frequently. I’ve been told that the shelter vet examined his left leg and found that no surgical intervention is necessary.He is not going to be anyone’s long walk buddy but he will happily be a loving lap dog and is actually lap-sized! Dan gives wonderful kisses if you get down on his level. He rolls on to his back to relax and provide maximum surface to receive pets. He is comfortable around all people that I’ve seen him meet. Dan has a sign on his kennel that says “because of my medical condition playgroup is not a good fit for me”. I can see that being the case, as Dan’s body language when he saw another dog was not relaxed or playful but tight and fearful (still and unbarking). He might prefer to be an only dog or more information might need to be gathered on his preferences once his medical challenge on his left leg is isolated and he’s on a pain management plan.Thanks to the wonderful pics that happy paws photography captured, Dan might actually get a second chance at life. It’s a tougher journey for a dog who has a medical challenge and an even more challenging one for dogs who might not immediately be comfortable with other dogs. With this picture hopefully someone will give him a chance to be that kissing, snuggling lap dog that he so desperately wants to be.To foster Dan, please email [email protected] adopt, please visit Prince George’s County Animal Shelter in person, Tuesday - Friday 11am - 7pm or Saturday 10am - 4pm.
