We are so happy that sweet Mickey is recovering well from his fracture repair with Dr. Scott and will soon be able to run into the arms of his new family! ❤️

Look at this big boy! It’s been
A little over two weeks post follow up on Mickey’s brutal bone surgery and he is doing great! Such sincere thanks to Dr Scott at Mechanicsville Animal Hospital —he refused to give up during a very challenging surgery and put his leg back together. Micky still has a lot of healing to do, but it’s looking great so far. A big THANK YOU to you special people who donated towards his surgery to keep his leg!!!!!
