A vet tech discovered Papillo after he’d been hit by a motorcycle in Costa Rica. She took a liking to the dog’s positive attitude and sweet nature and had him flown to Portland, Ore., for medical care. Unfortunately, the dog’s spinal cord was severed, meaning he’d never walk again, but veterinarian Rochelle Low set him up in a wheelchair, which Papilo took to immediately. The playful, 30-pound pup loves to run in the park and curl up next to a friend, and he’s currently looking for a new home. If you’re interested in adopting him, you can find Rochelle Low’s contact information here.
