Buddy came home with me in November.
His leg had been nearly torn off by a huge German Shepherd.
I asked a rescue to help me get his leg amputated,
and GROWL stepped up.

Buddy's leg was removed, along with his "goodies"
and now he needs a forever home.

Buddy is somewhat lacking in the brains department,
but he is very affectionate! He needs LOTS of exercise.
He likes to chase cats a little,
but he never catches them or tries to hurt them.

He is rather dominant, and therefore does not get along with other dominant dogs. He is fine with submissive dogs and loves my 2 submissive females, he follows them around like he is in love.

Buddy will stand on his rear legs like a kangaroo
and jump into the back of my SUV when he wants to go for a ride.
He is really cute.
He loves dog treats and chewing on hooves.

He is housebroken and has not had one accident in my house.

Please give Buddy a forever home where he can get lots of love
and exercise. Buddy is about 40 lbs and is neutered and microchipped,
HW negative and up to date on all vaccinations.

I will drive him to meet you, if you can take him!

I am not home enough to give him the attention and exercise he needs.
He is now back at the shelter to give my dogs a break from him.
PLEASE HELP BUDDY!!!

Oh, and he is great with kids! My 6 yr old little girl loves him!
Needs rescue fast, he is back at the shelter awaiting rescue to get him.
Please help BUDDY!!!

AVON LAKE, Ohio (April 1)
A developmental problem split Angel the dog's leg,
making her look like a five-legged pet.

Veterinarian Frank Krupka,
with the Avon Lake Animal Clinic in suburban Cleveland,
said he's never seen anything like it.

After examining X-rays,
Krupka determined that a genetic aberration
split Angel's front left leg in two,
leaving her with three normal legs and two distinct parts of a fourth.

Krupka said the condition doesn't cause pain
but gives her problems moving around.

He said surgery is "unlikely" (HUH?)
on the about-7-month-old dog.
Krupka said any surgery would be cosmetic
and not improve the animal's walk.

A genetic aberration split Angel's front left leg in two,
making her look like she has five legs.

An Ohio veterinarian
said the condition doesn't cause the dog pain,
but gives her problems moving around.
The problem also "can't be corrected through surgery." (HUH?)

(Click HERE: she is the 3rd dog down, #4355 - so sweet)
PLEASE READ HER STORY.......
There is a 7-8 month old female in the West Plains pound
(about 125 miles SE of Springfield, MO)
that needs a very special rescue.
She is listed as a Boxer mix.

She has a congenital deformity of the left front leg;
she actually has 2 short legs, one growing out of the other, and the whole thing is twisted and pretty much useless. She sort of creeps along, using the stumpy double leg as a crutch, but really needs to have the whole mess amputated so she can learn to walk as a "normal" tripod.

If anyone has room for this special girl and the funds to get the surgery done and the foster home to help her through her recovery and rehabilitation, please don't wait, let the ACO know that you will be able to take her as soon as her hold time is up.

PLEASE contact the ACO of the pound at:
WPANIMALCONTROL@WPCS.NET
or: 417-255-1860.
The pull fee is $20, which includes ONLY the dog.
You may also contact Betty at:
thistle88@centurytel.net
She is able to pull, hold short-term,
and assist with transport within about 100 miles of Birch Tree, MO.

We have a three legged dog up for adoption
Through Animal Services League, Rochester, NY
Sammy has a blog detailing his rehabilitation
after being rescued at the age of 7.
He is a front leg amputee (been gone long before we ever met).
