Antoine was born with rigid paralysis in his back legs caused by an infection in his mother’s womb. His prospects were not good when he first came to Leavenworth Animal Welfare Society. It was when Janet Curran saw his photo at her own shelter in Kansas City that both of their worlds changed.

Janet sought treatment for Antoine at Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital hoping for a miracle. While the operation was not a complete success, Antoine’s spirit helped him persevere.

Antoine went to live with Connie Fredman who started the Canine Health Resort over fifteen years ago. It was her wish to provide a comfortable, supportive home for dogs undergoing treatment at CSU or requiring hospice care.

The Canine Health Resort is an old crop farm situation in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It has everything a dog could love—a pond, fields to hunt mice in and plenty of friends. Antoine is particularly fond of the horses.

An early step taken to give Antoine mobility was fitting him with a wheelchair so he could run wherever he wanted. He got in a few jams under fences and in thicket in his excitement to see all that he could. Here he is perplexed by a set of statues.

Many friends of all ages come to visit Connie’s and the dogs love to form a boisterous greeting party to welcome them all—especially for the UPS truck. But nothing beats kid kisses for this happy dog.

Antoine’s mobility depends on continuous physical therapy. He had three appointments a week to keep him flexible and comfortable. Connie must wrap and unwrap his feet every day and keep his wounds that never heal clean.

Antoine became a therapy dog a few years ago. Since that time he has worked with children with special needs in a local elementary school. Here he is letting CSU Freshmen love on him to keep them from feeling homesick for their own pets.

Antoine is mobile in his own brilliant and unusual way. He can walk and he can run. He sees no differences between himself and fully able-bodied dogs. And true to his Husky nature he loves when the snow flies.
