Kupuna has shown remarkable resilience since he came to us in December emaciated and unable to walk. He'll never be an active dog who goes on walks, but he's reached a point where he can follow his person around the house. He's very affectionate and loves pets and attention. He gets along well with other dogs, and has a docile demeanor.

Kupuna's mobility issues are due to spinal arthritis. He is on arthritis medications for the rest of his life, which has been helpful for him. He also needs regular medicated baths for some ongoing skin allergies. He is deaf and has some fecal incontinence due to lack of control of his hind end. Kupuna will need a very special home, one where he can receive loving, dedicated care. This gentle soul will give you as much if not more love than he receives. He has a gentle, loving spirit and needs a soft landing in this next phase of life.
