He has a condition called perinal fistulas which the vets have said was caused by a food allergy. He has to be on a very strict and expensive diet along with medicines and ointments for his anal area. What are the chances that he would even get adopted out being this high maintenance of a dog? We do love him, but he is just becoming too expensive for us to afford and want him to go to a good home that can afford him and give him everything he deserves. If you can just get back to me with further information I would appreciate it. I need to consider turinging him over to you for his medical care.
