Listed as mix but looks PB. Although PF says he's with a foster, it's a staff person from the shelter and it is very short-term. Shelter is full. From the shelter:
We REALLY are desperate to get Fozzie in a foster/rescue. ANY HOPE?
He just needs a low dose of pain management meds and ear cleaned periodically.
Poor guy - they amputated his ear.

Fozzie is an adult male German Shepherd mix. He will be a special needs dog. He has two luxating patellas, grade 3. This means that although he gets around fine, he moves a little slow because of his knee trouble. He will require some kind of a joint/pain medication for the rest of his life which, fortunately, is not extremely costly. This very lovable guy also suffered from a chronic ear infection that was never treated before coming to PAWS. After unsuccessful treatment attempts, he had to have his ear removed and is now mended from that surgery. (His photos show both before and after surgery. You can see how his ear constantly hung over, which made the problem worse as the ear was never allowed to breathe.) He is a big sweetheart who is very easy going. He likes other dogs, does fine with cats, and would be great around kids. Fozzie does well on a leash, and would be a wonderful companion for a person who wants a dog who will take time to enjoy the slow-paced life. He has been neutered, and is up to date with routine shots. Fozzie is being fostered near Washington, Ia. Please contact Sheila at shedesigns@iowatelecom.net or 319-863-0604 for more information on meeting him.
