Injured German Shepard

WE HAVE A WONDERFUL UPDATE ON 'JUMBO' - Do you all remember his story?  (I have posted it below to refresh your memory) 

Jumbo has been reunited with his original owner after 4 months of Veterinary care and rehabilitation after being hit by a car. We also neutered him - He was soooo happy to jump into his truck and go back home to his sweet family.




This beautiful male German Shepard was left at the shelter on April 24.  It had been struck by a car and in bad need of stitches.  Billie cleaned the wounds as best she could and then had Geraldo come in and do some stitching.  He is limping pretty badly and may have a fracture, we are not sure until we get X-rays.

Medico Oscar looked at him on April 26 and felt confident that the work that Billie and Gerardo had done will be successful. 

As of this morning our boy had chewed off his stitches but was not bleeding.  He will not relieve himself in his immediate surroundings (X-Pen) so he needs to be walked despite the limp.

Let's hope for a full recovery, a return to his owner or a new forever home!
Updates to follow.
