Quill was rescued and brought to us with porcupine quills all over his face and front legs.
Upon further examination by our clinic staff, it was discovered that he also had heartworm (a potentially fatal parasite if left untreated), more than 20 pieces of lead shot from a small gun embedded in the right side of his head, and an eye infection so severe his eye needed to be surgically removed.
We have been caring for Quill since the end of October last year, and are thrilled to see him move to the adoption area where he can start looking for his forever home.
Quill is a 2 year old, black lab mix and has a super sweet disposition. Even after all he has been through, he's just happy to be here surrounded by people who love him.
Quill is available for adoption today. If you can find it in your heart to give this more-than-deserving dog and place in your family, come visit him or call 982-2035 for more information.
Dublin was found wandering the streets of a northern community with severe injuries to his body. He could barely put any weight on one of his front legs and had a long cut up his side and back.
Luckily, a caring citizen decided to rescue him and Dublin was flown into Winnipeg and taken straight to our shelter. Here our veterinary team took x-rays of his leg and realized it had been broken and healed improperly. Along with the gash up his side, Dublin was in a lot of pain but amazingly was still in high spirits!
Since Dublin's leg healed from it's break in such an awkward and painful way it was necessary to amputate the leg from the shoulder down. We preformed the surgery in our shelter clinic and everything went wonderfully.
Dublin has already spent a few weeks in foster care and is recovering nicely. He has never been happier and is much more comfortable without the constant pain of his front leg. He is an amazingly friendly and gentle dog, who seems to love everyone that passes him by. He already barely even notices he is missing one of his legs!
Dublin is now up for adoption and is ready to go home today. If you're interested in bringing this phenomenal dog into your home and family, please visit us or call our adoption department at 982-2035.
