Quasimodo is an unusual dog. He is a German Shepherd born with a defect in his back. There are only 14 dogs like him in the whole world.
Regardless of appearance, Quasimodo is very cute and approachable. Initially, it was believed that his unusual appearance was due to being raised in a cramped space, which prevented him from developing fully.
However, it was later discovered that he was born with a shortened spine, which is an extremely rare condition, with only 14 known cases in the world. As a result, his entire body is compressed, and his organs are pressed together in his abdomen.
Secondhand Hounds believes that every dog deserves a loving home, and is currently providing care for Quasimodo. It was a temporary foster family who gave him the name of the famous hunchback from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” – Quasimodo.
“The Quasi of Secondhand Hounds is our hero because he is the definition of the qualities we all admire in our dogs,” his foster parent told.
“Born different, but never knowing any other way, he seeks to please the people who have shown him kind hands and warm hearts. He may not be as pretty as many dogs on the outside, but his heart and soul shine through and make him one of God’s most beautiful creatures.”
A veterinarian checked him and found that his twisted tail was affecting all other body functions. This is a defect that animals with such problems have.
However, Quasimodo doesn’t seem to mind any of this. He is very affectionate, loves other dogs – although he’s a bit scared of cats – and doesn’t seem to be in any pain from his condition.
Quasimodo has quickly become a popular dog, with hundreds of thousands of followers on his Facebook page, which documents his progress.
