Disabled Dachshund with IVDD Needs a New Home ASAP

UPDATE:  Sully has found his new forever home!!!!  Thank you to everyone who helped!!!

Home for Life Animal Sanctuary in MN contacted me for help in seeing if I can help place another little dachshund that is disabled. They are full and can’t take him.

Jonn is the owner of Scully and due to financial reasons can’t keep Scully. Scully is currently staying at the vet, but can’t stay there much longer as Jonn is running out of money to do that.  The vet wrote a letter with information about Scully which I’ve included below. Jonn and Scully are located in Prior Lake, MN. His phone # is 612-760-5900. His email is jonn (dot) schumacher (at) gmail (dot) com. PLEASE CONTACT JONN DIRECTLY. As much as I’d like to be the go between, it is not feasible for me, but this is my way of helping try and place this disabled dachshund, so please direct all your questions and inquiries to Jonn.

RE:      “Sully” – Canine   , Dachshund

DOB: 04/28/2006

To Whom It May Concern:

Sully is a 6 year old Dachshund that was treated for intervertebral disc disease.  He had compression of his spinal cord at T11-T12 and T12-T13 due to a ruptured or herniated intervertebral disc.  He underwent a hemilaminectomy on January 30, 2012.  Since that time he has been treated with physical rehabilitation but has not yet regained any deep pain or motor function.  Unfortunately, Sully has also lost control of urine and bowel control.  He does very well in his cart and he is still a very happy and energetic patient.

Please call if you have any questions

Sincerely,
