Eliza, the puppy with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

We're celebrating our animal friends who are differently abled, and differently beautiful. Those who stand out from the crowd - because that just makes them OUTSTANDING! Whether it's a cat with hydrocephalus, a blind donkey, a rabbit walking with wheels, or a dog with a cleft lip - we want to put the Special into 'Special Needs' and celebrate animals who are wonderful just the way they are! It’s all about acceptance, having fun, celebrating our uniqueness - and SAVING LIVES!

Your entries and donate-to votes will help Road Dogs & Rescue rescue more 'special' dogs, and keep powering towards our goal of a sanctuary and healing centre.

Eliza, the puppy with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Meet Eliza! She is a foster puppy from Tennessee. When she first came to my house on June 24, 2019, she had severely dislocated ankles. After a couple of weeks of splinting every day, her legs became straighter! Then came the diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a collagen disorder making her skin not elastic. She gets cuts and abrasions easily, but that doesn’t stop her from being the silliest, sweetest puppy! She will be up for adoption soon!

Adorable Eliza, I love your video. I also have Ehlers Danlos so I know how painful it can be. I love seeing dogs with EDS find loving homes. ❤️❤️❤️
