You have to scroll down and click to enlarge the pics at the bottom of his write-up (his main photo doesn't do him justice). Good with dogs and cats! And his name -- iHop -- it just makes me smile. Looks like he has a ton of personality.

Sorry I'm on a tablet and can't add the pics or copy/paste all the details, but here's his link:

Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.

Meet iHop:

He was found as a stray and had a old fracture to his right front leg. There was nerve damage and growth plate was affected so it had stopped growing so the leg was removed - he does not seem to miss it!  He is also deaf.

iHop is a such a charmer.  He is just as sweet as he is adorable!  He loves to snuggle up close to his foster family members, humans and dogs alilke.  He is a very smart boy and is capable of being a wonderful family pet.  

We are working on a few issues with iHop.  We believe his days as a stray and fighting for his life has left him food (and often toy) aggressive.  And since he is deaf, he is not able to respond to verbal commands.  He is completely being trained with hand signals.  Because of this, we feel that he should not go to a home with young children until he is fully rehabilitated from this behavior.  
That said, iHop is a great little pup.  He is 1 year and 9 months old and is very responsive, although sometimes strong willed.  With the proper training and consistency with it, he will make a wonderful addition to your family.

iHop is one handsome boy!!  He is so fortunate to have found his way to you.  Hopefully he will find his forever home soon once you finish working with him.
