Adopting a Puppy with Front Nubbins. Training? Tips? Wisdom?

Adopting a Puppy with Front Nubbins. Training? Tips? Wisdom?

Hello! Like the title says, we’re looking at adopting a puppy with little T-Rex nubbins for both front legs. From what we’ve seen, she can move around and play, mostly by scooting with her back legs, and has plenty of energy. We’d be working with the rescue to get her a wheelchair/mobility aid.

I’ve worked with special needs animals before, which is why the rescue reached out to me, but this would be the most extreme in terms of mobility needs. And I’ve mostly dealt with adults.

Looking for tips, general wisdom, things I may not be thinking about. She’s only 4 months old, so what does training look like for a young puppy with limited mobility? I do have access to a pool for low impact exercise.
