A few weeks weeks ago, a precious dog 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, but with no funds the kill-shelter put her on the euthanasia list! Mutts & Mitts of
Brooklyn, a rescue organization which places homeless cats and dogs
in loving temporary or permanent homes, scooped her up and paid for her necessary amputation.
She took it like a champ but had to go back to the hospital a few days later because of pain. She has been at the hospital for nearly two weeks on a cocktail of anxiety and nerve pain meds. Her whimpering has finally subsided and she's finally back in great spirits. She's ready to go home, but has nowhere to go!
Could you be the one to give her a FOSTER or ADOPTIVE home while she heals?
LADY OINK, named so because of her unbelievably sweet disposition and cute little snorting sound she makes when licking you, is a 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. LADY OINK can get around very well on her three legs. 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 euthanasia list before we rescued her and is going to be interviewed in a feature for the ACC, so she is already a star! Check out LADY OINK in action here.

LADY OINK is spayed, is current on her vaccinations and is microchipped.
