Pluto

He's out of this world! Hi, pals! My name is Pluto, and I'm a 4-year-old neutered Shepherd mix, weighing in at 52 pounds. I've come all the way from Mexico, and I'm as excited as can be to find my furever family! I'm crate-trained and house-trained, with no signs of any separation anxiety. My leash training is almost at 100%, and I'm confident that I'll have mastered it in no time at all. As far as my health goes, I've had quite the rollercoaster ride! As you can see, I'm now a tripod, but that hasn't held me down one bit. I'm also in remission from red blood cell aplasia. This condition will require ongoing monitoring (with re-checks every 6-8 weeks until completely off immunomodulatory therapy like Pred and Cyclosporine). Because this disease can recur, I require regular monitoring and vet visits every three months during the first year, and approximately 2-3 times yearly thereafter. Currently I am only on Denamarin Advanced for Large Dogs to support my liver, monthly cost is ~$72, depending on market value and where purchased. I am also taking Atopica (~110.00 for 2 months supply. Price will vary based on where purchased and market value) to help manage my skin allergies. But, enough about that! The greatest thing about me is the enthusiasm and zest I have for life. I'm all love, and I'm grateful to have had this second chance. Because of that, I give 110% to everything I do! I'm a high-energy boy, and I live for sturdy chew toys, playing fetch, and going on car rides. I'm very smart and am a quick learner (mostly due to being food motivated). I also love playing with and being around other doggie friends. My ideal home would be an active one, with numerous people or furry siblings around to play with. Other than that, just give me lots of love, and I will be the goodest boy that I can be! So, what do you say should we take on this galaxy together? If so, my adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
