Description:
Aries came into our care last month, abandoned and found by the NYPD. From the moment we met him, we knew he was special. He’s full of energy, playful, and loves nothing more than pouncing around with his toys, despite a little clumsiness. But over time, his foster noticed something unusual about his gait and movement, and over the weekend Aries had a consult with @amcny’s Neurology Department where Aries was diagnosed with hydrocephalus—a condition that causes fluid buildup in his brain. Aries remains the happiest, goofiest, most loving puppy but he will need to be on medication for life (Omeprazole), and he will always need some extra help with coordination as he can lean and walk into things but isn’t expected to get any worse. At just 5 months old and 57 lbs, Aries is still growing into the big boy he’s meant to be and this doesn’t stunt him at all! Aries is searching for a foster-to-adopt or forever home where he can thrive. A family with another dog who can help him play and burn off energy would be wonderful! His current foster stepped in when Aries was brought to the NYPD and needed urgent placement, but is not around most of the day. Interested in helping Aries? Please email [email protected].
