A stunted dog with a rare condition is looking for a home.
Quasimodo, a purebred German shepherd with short spine syndrome, is gaining fans online with his story.
On Monday, Secondhand Hounds updated Quasi's 50,000 fans on Facebook on the pup's health and medical treatments.
Quasi had his neck clipped and cleaned to help the skin heal from his collar wound and he was neutered. He will be seeing a specialist to fix what is called a screw tail, a vertebrae deformity in the tail.
"Quasi is missing a couple of vertebra in his back, but that is not causing him pain. His back cannot be surgically repaired," the shelter wrote on Facebook.
Quasi was also seen by a human geneticist at University of California, who is studying his blood to find out what causes short spine syndrome.
