Curtis is a 10-year-old sweetheart that came in as a stray and stole the hearts of literally everyone. When Curtis was picked up by animal control he went straight to the vet because he appeared to be injured. His head was hanging low and tilted to the side. After X-rays, it was learned that Curtis had an old injury and the radiologist noticed metal fragments inside of his body. We believe he may have been shot at some point in his life. The vet examined him every which way and he has never seemed to be in any pain. We do believe his previous head/neck injuries may have affected his hearing, he does seem to be a bit hard of hearing at times. Despite his age and his differences, this guy can move! He loves to run and play and he does somersaults. Curtis loves everyone he meets and he did fine when tested with other dogs and cats. He is a major lover and also loves to sit on laps and give kisses. He is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $120.
