Bindi is a young, medically challenging puppy who was picked up as a stray in Salinas. This poor girl was found hobbling around experiencing some obvious neurological issues. Poor thing! We can't even imagine her out in the big world by herself.

Bindi is searching for a family with people who can be home with her much of the day, as she does topple over and has a challenging time getting back up. She will also need baths more regularly than your average pup, as she sometimes topples into her potty piles. We are looking for adopters who are up for a medical mystery, as our clinic team is still trying to sort out whether Bindi will live with these issues lifelong, and what kind of treatment she may need moving forward. If you are interested, please watch the video at the end of her profile here for a closer look at her symptoms. Please note that she is always kept in a safe and monitored environment here, and she is able to get herself back up and keep her head safe when falling.

While Bindi has already been through so much in her short life, she still has much to learn. Puppy socialization is critical to lifelong behavior and skills for any dog, so we want to ensure Bindi's next home is up for meeting her medical needs as well as her socialization and exposure needs as a growing puppy.

Bindi joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. While Bindi isn't our usual senior dog, she was out of options due to her medical need. With no other rescues able to take her in, we decided Bindi was destined to become a POMDR pup!
