Watson is 6-year-old Puggle in Arvada, CO, who needs $2,000 for weekly physical therapy for a year.

I first saw Watson on Petfinder in January and became his foster mom in July. He was injured in January and relinquished after a spinal cord injury when his family could not afford his medical care. Planet Pet cared for him and helped him adjust to his injury, allowing him to become mobile with the use of a cart. He is a determined and resilient dog who loves life. He is currently in Physical Therapy and water therapy weekly and making great progress. He has some feeling in his feet and is now able to stand for several seconds. His special needs mean he is incontinent and needs his bladder expressed every two hours. He uses a cart for mobility but needs to be carried in and out of the house and car. He sleeps in a bed next to mine and is ready for the day at 5:00 AM. I do his PT exercises daily to strengthen his muscles. I have 3 senior female Puggles who have welcomed him into our home. He loves the outdoors and walks. He is in training to be a therapy dog to help others. He has the special ability to bring joy to all who meet him. Watson is truly a remarkable dog and deserves the chance to recover his strength and mobility to whatever degree he can. The progress he has made in his therapy is so encouraging. The specialized care he has received from K-9 Body Shop, a rehabilitative center for canines has been instrumental in this progress. We would love to see him be able to continue the level of care that he has received through continued donations. I will continue to implement the therapy program at home so he receives the maximum benefit from his biweekly sessions.
