Free Dog! 25% off!
So my friend found this dog wandering on the levee in Algiers last month. It was in a serious state of disrepair, as it had about three inches of bone sticking out of its upper right rear leg, with the rest of the leg missing. A quick trip to the night emergency vet, and $1100 later, and Grace the three legged wonder dog came home with him.



He already had three dogs and lives in a small apartment, so I have agreed to be Grace's foster daddy, until we can find her a good home. Here you can see her stump better. They did a nice job, and once her coat grows back, she will look fine. She's doing pretty good, and getting along well with my girl, Cleo.

2. What a pretty girl!
Those eyes are so beautiful and expressive. She looks so happy, all she's been through hasn't left her subdued it seems.

Thank you both for taking such good care of her. :hug:

3. She's a beauty.
I had a dog who lost a rear leg to cancer. She adjusted very quicky and very well and died a natural death several years later.
I'm so glad she's comfy with you.

8. You're right, he is exceptional.
Another of his friends was with him and split the cost. I assume he will pick up the next one he finds too. He's a serial dog adopter.:)

5. She has a nice thick, glossy coat and looks well fed
Did the vet think she had been hit by a car?

9. Don't know what happened to her.
It wasn't a recent (within hours) injury, apparently. She's been in good hands for the last three weeks or so, so she is in good shape, weight-wise, and does have a glossy coat. She's a little food aggressive but getting much better. And no heart worm!
