The only thing predictable about rescue is that it is unpredictable… 🤯
What started out as a Good Samaritan rescuing a pup from a bad situation and pleading for help, turned into the most complex and expensive CCL surgery we have ever taken on!
Bronxy is the namesake of her birth place, the Bronx. She came to us at 6 months old severely under weight and completely unvetted. We weren’t overly surprised at her condition, but it didn’t make it any less disturbing. Prior to undergoing her spay Bronxy had an x-ray due to a slight limp she would show after playing. To everyone’s surprise the X-ray revealed not only had Bronxy completely torn her CCL, but she had torn the tendon off the bone making this the most severe CCL tear we have dealt with. She had to undergo orthopedic surgery placing a swivel type mechanism to remedy the CCL tear, in addition to clearing out the fragments of bone and fixing the torn tendon. Surgery was bad but the 16+ weeks of crate rest was brutal. This surgery ultimately saved her leg, but stole her puppy hood.
As of now this sweet, spunky, happy go lucky lady is finally cleared to start her search for a forever family. Bronxy is enthusiastic about making new friends. She loves other pups, can hang with the feline friends, and has found comfort cuddling with the kiddos. This girl has a good grasp on her basic skills of crate and house training, but the leash is still a work in progress. There is no doubt that she would love an active home with some canine friends to chase around. Although she is now about a year old Bronxy still needs guidance with her basic manners and skills, as she has not been able to work on these due to her recovery restrictions.
This has been a long road with Bronxy, but we do not regret it for a minute. She now has the ability to live a long happy, pain free life. Could that life be with you? If so email [email protected] today!
