What is your dog's breed and age?
Doberman, 4 years old

How has your dog impacted your life or the lives of others?
Ty is our Miracle Baby! He’s a distemper survivor and came very close to not surviving, in fact, he was so sick as a puppy that euthanasia was suggested a few times. He was in foster care at the time and his foster mom just kept taking him home and nursing him back to health.

Everyone who meets Ty falls in love with him. He is SO sweet and loving. He lost all his teeth from the distemper and has tremors, but none of that stops him from living his best life. I feel like he has a, “It’s great to be alive attitude!” He loves to play fetch with us and his sister and brother, Bebe and Teddy. He loves people, eating and snuggling with us!

He helps me to maintain a positive attitude and live my best life. As I deal with some serious health issues, Ty reminds me that if he can survive his serious health issues, so can I! He gives so much love and is a true inspiration.

How did your dog become a part of your family?
I adopted him from PACC
