Chi Chi is a VERY sweet sole with a quiet bark and a love for life. She came into our rescue after her owner pleaded for help on Facebook. He travels for a living and had come home to his dog in this condition - paralyzed and basically immobile. Hoping that she would walk again, we took Chi Chi in, had her x-rayed and evaluated, but unfortunately her condition is irreversible. Fortunately, it is not DM, so after we get her acclimated to her custom wheelchair, she will live a beautiful, active lifestyle. Chi Chi is paralyzed from her chest down and needs help using the bathroom, but has no problem breathing and has some amazing upper body strength. Chi Chi is protective of her loved ones at first, but warms up quickly to both dogs and people. You can tell when she is excited that someone she knows and trusts has come to see her. She is only a barker, not a biter. She has been around kids and loves them, but we do not know how she is with cats. She loves to sit outside and soak up the sun and play with toys. She is such a happy dog and steals the hearts of everyone she meets. Once she gets her mobility back, I can imagine her thriving as a player and walker, but she is happy just to be around the ones she loves. She wants to be close to her people and is a typical loyal German Shepherd. She is also heartworm positive and we are working on a plan to have this addressed. As a rescue, we want to help every possible dog and while we ALL love Chi Chi, we unfortunately don't have the facilities to provide Chi Chi the home she needs which is why we are reaching out to those who can. We will all miss her dearly, but know that we are doing for her what is needed so that she can be the best dog that she can be.
