Vader is the luckiest unlucky dog we've ever met. He was found alone and bleeding by a good Samaritan and rushed to Silicon Valley Veterinary Specialists, where they worked to stabilize him and determine the extent of his injuries. With help from San Jose Animal Care Services, it was determined that he had a spinal fracture and minor skull fractures to accompany the multiple deep lacerations. With thoughtful care from the team at SVVS, he's expected to make a full recovery in foster care.

Once on the road to recovery, witnesses came forward to share that they had seen Vader tied to a tree, being attacked by a person with a machete. Despite this horiffic trauma, Vader's steady and affectionate temperament still shines through.

Vader has been fabulous with children and would love to play with other active dogs once he's fully healed. He should be supervised closely in the presence of cats or other small pets as he has shown significant prey drive. He is crate trained and is learning some basic commands thanks to a very dedicated foster home. 

Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.
