Ty - American Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Scituate, Massachusetts

Ty has been through a lot in the past few months, but he is finally ready to go home! He came to us when his family circumstances had changed and he needed a quieter household. He had a limp when he arrived, and we discovered he had a torn CCL. He had surgery to repair that a few weeks ago, and after laser treatments and an excellent foster home, he is doing great! (Thanks to everyone donated to help Ty out!)

As if recovering from surgery wasn't enough, last week Ty's foster noticed his face looked strange and he was having difficulty swallowing. It turns out he had trigeminal neuritis (aka dropped jaw), where the nerve that controls the jaw muscles was inflamed. Thankfully, he is showing a lot of improvement in the last week.

Ty is looking for a quiet home that he can call his own. Due to the pain in his back legs, he is sensitive to being touched there. Because of this, he should not go to a home with small children. Ty cannot live with cats! He is great with dogs and humans!

On the whole, Ty has been a champ throughout everything and really loves being with his people. This handsome guy is also a world-class snuggler with a coat like silk! It's time for Ty to go home!
