A few weeks weeks ago, a precious dog who has now been named LADY OINK for her unbelievably sweet disposition and cute little snorting sound when she's licking you, under horrible circumstances ended up at the Brooklyn kill-shelter with a snapped front leg. After seeing specialists it was determined she had to have the leg amputated! She took it like a champ but had to go back to the hospital because she was crying out. She has been at the hospital for nearly two weeks while they tried to determine what was causing her to cry out. She is finally on a cocktail of anxiety and nerve pain meds to help ease her. But now that she is ready to go home, she has nowhere to go! Her crying out has dimished almost to nothing over the past week. Now she lets out a slight whimper every once in a while. We can guarantee you she will love you to pieces. Could you be the one to give her a FOSTER or ADOPTIVE home while she heals?
LADY OINK is a sweet sweet AmStaff mix (she looks and acts like part-manatee!) who loves people and other dogs. She is a 4 year old true angel of a dog. As you can see in the pics below, she is so loving! LADY OINK can get around very well on her three legs-we think she was without use of the leg which was amputated for some time. It would be best for her if we could place her with a foster or adopter who has an elevator building, lives on the ground floor or is strong enough to carry her up a flight or two. She was on the euthanization list before we rescued her and is going to be interviewed in a feature for the ACC, so she is already a star!
We want to get her into a warm home for the holidays!!
