Thanks so much for all the resources here! Still fostering Madison through her rehab so she can go out for adoption and am still heavily considering adopting her myself. I'll try to add some pictures. I'm pretty sure she's a German shepherd Australian cattle dog husky amd collie mix. Shes about a year and 7 months and seems like she was very fit before the car accident. She had trouble walking at all for about 3 days and when she recovered she didn't get the use of her front left leg back. They think the nerve was severed. Personality wise I'm not sure there will ever be a better fit for me. I downloaded and read three legs and a spare and Loving Life On Three Legs . I've watched videos and read a lot of posts. I feel like I'm learning a ton and am on a better path. I also have an appointment with a local vet who has a three legged dog. We've slowed our activities way way down and will work on building her back up slowly and healthily! It has been a challenge though because even with mental work and nose work and trick training and the massage etc... she's going crazy. She rested for 2 days with lots of mental exercise. Now she's going on one 10 minute walk a day. It feels like this just isn't enough for her as she has taken to zooming around the house and jumping off the couch and walls literally. By the time I get her settled I worry about that explosiveness. She does the same in the yard when she goes to the bathroom. So my question is about her fully recovered activity levels. I'm a fairly active person and I really need to be out and about a lot and would like my dog to be a part of that. Part of what I love about having her is the social aspect of meeting neighbors on walks and talking with people at the dog park. Plus Madison simply lives to play with other dogs. So realistically, will I ever be able to do the following with her? 

- walks of at least 30 minutes.  It seems like 15 minutes is supposed to be the max, but is that while recovering or forever? 

- off leash in wilderness areas for 30 minutes? I read that 5 minutes off leash is max. Again, is that during recovery or forever? Should I never let her in the yard for more than 5 minutes? 

- hiking 2-4 miles maybe once every other week or so. This is pretty standard for me. With a more active able dog I would probably go more. 

- play dates with dog friends - this is both hers and my favorite ways to be social (COVID appropriate for now, but that won't be forever)

- dog park 30 minutes? 45 minutes? Hour? Ithink she loves the dog park more than food. I've read some conflicting things on this. Some things say an hour at the dog park with a few breaks is ok, some say no. 

- doggie day care where she will be spending time playing with lots of other pups in a more confined area. 

I'm OK limiting her daily walks and including strength and brain building, but I think she needs a bit more activity at some points and I will too. Dog park or play date instead of the daily walks? I'm in love with this little girl, but I need to give her the life she needs and deserves and although I hope I'm the right person for that, I may just not be. Thanks for any advice!
