Sparky came in to a Veterinarian's office with a badly fractured leg. The owner couldn't afford the cost or handle the recovery, so she asked the vet to put him down. The vet couldn't bring himself to let such a beautiful, young dog with so much life ahead of him go and reached out to us for help.
We attempted to repair his leg, but the break was displaced and we couldn't get it to heal correctly. The orthopedic specialist recommended amputating the leg to give him the best shot for a long and happy life. He recovered nicely and is building up muscle and walking great on three legs.
He is VERY sweet, dog friendly, potty trained, a little lover boy and might even be fine with cats. He grew up with kids and loves them. He's in a foster home with another large GSD and does great in the home with her.
