Pichu is a very special pup looking for a very special home. Pichu is a 5-year-old long-haired Dachshund mix who weighs about 11lbs. Unfortunately, he lost use of his hind legs, likely due to IVDD or an injury. Pichu has spent the last few months in foster care and has been a rockstar at learning to navigate his wheelchair! He's calm and well-behaved in social settings. He loves belly rubs, cuddles, and treats!

Pichu does not have control of his bladder or bowels and needs his bladder expressed multiple times a day; he does well wearing doggy diapers to prevent leaks. Pichu should be kept on a healthy diet to avoid getting overweight and causing more strain on his back. He will need assistance navigating stairs and furniture.
Pichu is very dog-friendly.
He does not have experience with cats, but may do well with a slow introduction.
He has met children and done great. May do better in a home with children old enough to understand his limitations.
