We are ever so sorry to report that Addie's front leg must be removed.
Addie was seen by a specialist who recommended her leg be removed.
He agreed with the wonderful rescue friendly vet named affectionately, DR.
LIZ. Dr Liz had taken X-rays and concluded that the most humane thing to
do for Addie is to remove the leg as it is beyond repair. Dr. Liz said it
was an injury from when Addie was a very small puppy. If someone had
gotten her medical at the time her leg could have been repaired but since
they did not and chose instead to dump her at a kill shelter. It is too
late and the leg can not be saved.
Once removed, Addie will learn in no time to run and play on three legs.
She is still a puppy which is a real plus for her. The best part is that
for the first time since the injury she will be pain free. Addie will
need a nice foster or adoptive home where she can recover and learn to
walk on three legs. I am asking that someone out there PLEASE PLEASE help
this little girl. She is still in the kennel and is in dire need of a
foster home. She will be operated on Monday March 6th. Please give this
love bug a home she can call her own.

Addie is a happy little girl! She is being evaluated now because she
walks with a limp. She will most likely have to undergo a full work up
from an orthopedic specialist.
She loves everyone and every dog she has met! As soon as we learn
about her front leg we will update you. Addie was found as a stray and as
a result will not be placed with young children.
She seems to just be so happy with everything!
Taking an easy dog from
someone who has to move and rehoming him/her is not a huge challenge. The
challenge is transporting and caring for dogs like Marshall, Dude, and
Hutch, and now Addie. The challenge is finding the funds to help the dogs
in need of medical care.
Thatıs where YOU come in.
We need donations to cover the medical bills for these special dogs. Remember we
get no public or private funding. We rely on adoption fees and your
donations to cover our expenses.
