Shelter arrival date:  07/07/24

Name: Pippin
Gender: Intact Male
Age:   1 yr  
Size/Weight: 356lbs 

ID#: 660121

Medical info: Heartworm negative, broken leg

Eligible for Rescue:  Now! 

Sponsorship: $700

Specifics: This sweet, young Lab mix is just a year old and 37lbs.  He was probably hit by a car and is toe touching lame on his right front leg. X-rays show a broken radius and ulna. He needs a medical (orthopedic) plan and treatment as soon as possible. It is possible that the leg could heal with just a splint, but not ideal for the best chance of proper healing. He is young, goofy, high energy, and his hurt leg does not slow him down. X-rays are available.
