15/02/26 09:59 MHFen is healing from prior fractures to his right front leg that occurred before arriving at San Jose Animal Care and Services. He has received veterinary care and is healing well with good bone callus formation; his splint and cone were removed on 2/11, and he is now cleared for leash walks beyond the courtyard (no running yet). While he is recovering appropriately, he may have a mild chronic limp, slight gait changes, or visible thickening of the leg, and future arthritis, stiffness, or discomfort are possible. No guarantee can be made regarding long-term mobility, and any future care related to this injury will be the adopter's responsibility.Behaviorally, Fen bonds quickly-often attaching strongly to one person-and did well in foster with children, was easy to potty train, and gentle with food and treats. He can be cautious with some men and new experiences but shows friendly interest in other dogs and no general dog reactivity. He may know "sit," has good energy on leash, and will benefit from continued structure, positive reinforcement, and gradual exposure as he builds confidence.01/16/26This sweet dog bonds quickly and shows strong attachment to one special person. He did wonderfully with foster kids, was gentle with meals and treats, and learned potty training in less than 24 hours! While he may show some selective guarding, he responds well in a stable, familiar environment. He would thrive in a patient home where he can continue building trust and confidence with his adopter.01/05/26 15:06Approximately 1 & 1/2 year old neutered male shepherd mix dog who presented as a suspect hit-by-car emergency.
