WINTER 2020
Buddy & Blue We recently shared the story of a beautiful dog named Buddy who arrived at our shelter via our Inspectorate. Months after Buddy arrived in need of our help, the Inspectors received a second similar complaint. It was alleged that a dog had been left at the same residence as Buddy, alone for over a week, with no sightings of the owner. A welfare check was made on the property and Blue, an American Staffordshire Bullterrier was seized and brought to the shelter. The gorgeous young dog was shy and timid as she found herself in unfamiliar surroundings with our Veterinarian and Inspectors. It was apparent that Blue had already lived through some form of trauma in her life. With only three legs, Blue previously had an amputation of her right forelimb. In fact, after checking for her microchip it was discovered she had been seen in our public vet clinic a year earlier after an accident that resulted in the fracture to one of her right legs. Blue settled into her new life at the shelter, blossoming with confidence.
When her owner did not come forward to claim her, she was put up for adoption and given the chance to find a loving forever home. Our team spent lots of time with Blue giving her the love and care she deserved. Nothing could hold her back, the threelegged dog was so full of life and zest. In no time, Blue was given the second chance she truly deserved. Blue made her way to a new forever home where she now receives all the love and attention a three-legged dog could want.
