A Day in the Happy Life of a Rescued German Shepherd With Short Spine Syndrome

Quasimodo aka Quasi the Great is a beautiful German Shepherd who, like the similarly named winner of the 2015 World’s Ugliest Dog contest, has a condition known as Short Spine Syndrome. Because of this condition, Quasi’s entire body is compressed, but he’s a happy rescue dog who enjoys daily life at his foster home with a volunteer at Second Hand Hounds in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

A HUNCHBACK dog who found internet fame after being rescued from the street has found a loving new home. Four-year-old Quasimodo is believed to be one of just 15 dogs worldwide living with short-spine syndrome. The rare condition has left him with virtually no neck but his new family say he is enjoying a new lease of life at his home in Secondhand Hounds in Eden Prairie, Minnesota
