When Lou, a surrendered stray, was brought to a local shelter, the staff noticed he was missing the bottom half of his front leg. This could have happened at birth or resulted from an injury. While he still has all of his nerves and mobility in this leg, the shelter staff saw that his remaining front foot was giving him trouble too.
An x-ray at the vet revealed that Lou’s foot had been broken before and healed incorrectly. This raised the concern that he would exhaust this foot if he continued to put all of his weight on it. Losing usage of both front feet could drastically shorten his lifespan. Lou is now being fitted for braces and, with your donations, he can begin using a prosthetic leg!
You can help sweet Lou begin the journey to recovery. Your support will not only give Lou the hope to keep fighting, but your donations will help cover the ongoing care and training he will need.
Help us meet our goal of $2,800 to help Lou and pets like him get treatment.
