9 years young | 24 lbs | Tiny teeth, huge heart
Bane is a 9‑year‑old little guy who weighs about 24 lbs and is on the skinny side, so he’s currently enjoying the good life with two meals a day (which he strongly supports). Despite everything he’s been through, Bane is truly a very good boy with a sweet soul and a lot of love to give.
He gets along well with men, kids, and other dogs. With dogs, he can sometimes be a bit pushy and mouthy—but don’t worry, he has very few teeth and isn’t actually trying to fight. Think more “grumpy grandpa commentary” than real drama.
Special Care, Special Boy
Bane is paralyzed, though he can stand for a few seconds and moves his legs when he’s in his wheelchair. He’s incontinent and needs diapers/belly bands and manual bladder expression, but he’s surprisingly cooperative. He’s great about holding his poop until bladder time (thank you, Bane!), and he does well in his belly band about 95% of the time.
At night, Bane sleeps in the bed like the VIP he is. If he’s expressed well before bedtime and wears his belly band, he can hold it overnight.
His Ideal Home
Bane is looking for a home with:
- Experience with paralyzed dogs and bladder expression
- No stairs
- Minimal cement, as scooting on concrete can scrape his legs
He currently lives with several other dogs and does fine, but we think he would truly shine in a home with fewer dogs—or even as an only dog—where he can soak up more attention. He would also be happy with one or two calm dog friends.
A Little Extra TLC
Because Bane was previously deprived of food and water, he now does best with frequent access to water and regular meals. Since having consistent access, he’s much more relaxed and content.
The Bottom Line
Bane may need some extra care, but what he gives back is absolutely worth it. He’s sweet, loving, gentle, and resilient—and he’s ready for a home that sees how special he truly is.
If you’re looking for a dog who will steal your bed, your heart, and probably your snacks, Bane is your guy.
