Stallone is a 9 month old, male, 35 lb, Labrador Retriever mixed breed looking for love in RI. He is one of those dogs who has everyone falling in love as soon as he walks into a room. He has the cutest underbite we’ve ever seen (truly award worthy) and a gentle wobble to his head when he’s excited or tired.
After a full neurological workup, Stallone was diagnosed with a congenital brain condition called corpus callosum dysgenesis, along with disconjugate nystagmus. In simple terms: a small part of his brain didn’t fully develop before he was born.
The important part? It is not progressive, it will not get worse over time, and it does not affect his quality of life or lifespan. His neurologist has reassured us that Stallone can live a happy, full, normal life, he just comes with a little extra personality built in.
He loves other dogs, is playful, and very affectionate. We love this boy and we’re looking for a family that will see his differences not as limitations, but as part of what makes him so special. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered.
The Heart of RI has adoption hours every Wednesday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm at 44 Worthington Road, Cranston. You can view all of their policies, procedures, fees and other adoptable animals at HeartofRl.org.
