A staff member writes: Rico is a very cute senior poodle who is having some trouble using his hind legs. He has deep pain in her legs, he is able to go to the bathroom on his own, and he is able to move his tail, so it is possible that his hind leg issue is due to some spinal trauma or possibly IVDD. Rico is going to need follow up vet care and a great home to help him in his recovery. Please go online to reserve Rico tonight!
