💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: This little boy is two years old and is actually at the shelter after being pushed out of a car and abandoned. He is the sweetest little boy, and he did not deserve that at all. Today, when looking at the euthanasia list, I noticed that he was Rescue only. This I don't understand because he has been in Adoption all this time since he got to the shelter. Now, once he hits the euthanasia list, he is Rescue only. When I had Gio out in the run, I never saw any signs of him not being able to use his leg. He was not limping. He wasn't crying out in pain. There was no signs that he even was injured at all. I did see the x-rays and I guess it's a sprain which I just saw him a few days ago and I'm guessing that it has resolved so I'm not too sure why he's Rescue only still. He's a little dog and very cute. Very confident. He did well with his temperament test with another dog. He seemed to want to play more than anything. He took treats gently. He's just a good dog and I think that anybody would be happy to have him.
