Harrison Yorkie On Wheels

**All adoptions include a home visit. You must live in Broward or Palm Beach County.**HarrisonYorkshire Terrier · Almost 8 Years Old · 7 lbs There are dogs that make you rethink everything you thought you knew about limitations. Harrison is one of them.This seven-pound Yorkshire Terrier moves through life with a joy so contagious it stops people in their tracks. He is paralyzed in his lower legs, and he has absolutely no interest in letting that define him. Strap him into his wheelchair and watch him bounce around with an enthusiasm that makes you wonder why you ever complained about anything. When he is out of his wheels, his padded drag bag keeps his legs protected so he can maneuver comfortably and confidently on his own terms. Harrison does not need your sympathy. He needs your company, a good throw of his favorite toy, and a warm spot to cuddle when the fetch session is over.He is playful, loving, hypoallergenic, and deeply social with people. Take him out into the world, and he greets it like a dog who knows exactly how good life is. He has earned that perspective.Harrison does have a heart murmur and is managed comfortably on cardiac medication, which Get A Life Pet Rescue will cover for life. He also needs his bladder expressed every six hours during waking hours, a gentle, simple technique involving light pressure on each side of the bladder to release urine. Because Harrison does not drink water through the night, this is not needed after he settles in for the evening, making nighttime completely manageable for any household. We will make sure every adopter and their network is fully trained and confident in this before Harrison goes to his devoted home. And that word, network, is the heart of what Harrison needs most.His ideal adopter is someone who loves him fiercely and also comes prepared with a circle of trusted, trained people around them. Dog sitters, neighbors, family members, close friends, anyone who can step in on a long day away from home or during travel to provide his care on schedule. This does not need to be complicated or large. It simply needs to exist. Get A Life Pet Rescue will provide full hands-on training for everyone in that circle, and we will do our best to serve as a backup sitter ourselves when we are available.In return for that village, Harrison will give every single person in it something they did not expect. He will show up to every interaction with his whole heart, fetch game ready, cuddle mode fully operational, and that unmistakable Yorkie spark that reminds you that the size of a life has nothing to do with the size of the body living it.Harrison is not a dog who needs to be saved. He has already saved himself. He is simply waiting for the right people to recognize what an extraordinary privilege it is to be chosen by him.Get A Life Pet Rescue will cover Harrison's cardiac medication and basic veterinary care at our vet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for life.
