I have been screening homes for Monkey and am in the process of interviewing an applicant that looks like it could be a good match for him. So at this point, I will not be taking any further applications for adopting him.
Having said that, I am placing Monkey on a Medical Hold because he has a cyst on his leg that needs to be removed. The surgery is booked for Monday. Monkey will also require yearly screening of his Thyroid as he tested a low/normal which may or may not change over time. I am also going to start him on Melatonin suppliments to try and help with his thin hair. It has been known to do wonders for dogs with seasonal alepecia and for Poms with Alepecia X, so we're going to give it a try.
I don't feel that Monkey's situation is serious enough to consider him "special needs" however, he does have some special considerations that may or may not have an impact on his placement.
