At first glance, everyone turns away from Quasimodo because his appearance is scary …
Quasimodo had an extremely difficult start to life: the German Shepherd was born with shortened spine syndrome. This is an extremely rare condition in which the animal’s spine is significantly shortened or twisted. As the Quasimodo Facebook page says, only 14 dogs in the world are said to suffer from this syndrome.
A life marked by misfortune
Quasimodo was unfortunately not fortunate enough to have animal-friendly owners since he was abandoned as soon as his illness was discovered. Lucky for him, Quasimodo was later taken in by the animal welfare organization Second Hand Hounds in Minnesota, United States.
A happy dog in his family
Placed in a foster family, Quasimodo has gradually transformed into a happy and lively doggie who never ceases to surprise everyone he meets. Even if his appearance continues to scare people, they quickly fall under his spell when they take the time to get to know him.
