So how's it going w/finding this little one a home? I can't imagine how a shortened tail and lame hind leg would pose too much of a problem. My Puddy has both of those conditions and she's gotten around just fine for 14 years. As for the bowel/bladder problems, would a diaper be a possibility? Just asking. The hopeful look in this sweet one's eyes in haunting as if to say "Please love me".
