Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name: Peaches
Age: 5 years old
Disability: 3 legged
Breed/Weight: Peaches was hit by a car, her owners could not afford medical care so she was relinquished to the shelter.
Peaches, a pug/beagle/terrier mix has taught the staff and volunteers here at PWD incredible lessons in courage, determination, and survival. Peaches was turned into a Baltimore Shelter by her owners after she was hit by a car. She was going to be euthanized but the staff took a liking to her and used grant money to provide the necessary emergency surgery to amputate her front left leg that was severely damaged as a result of the accident. The hospital staff were diligently looking for a rescue to continue her care and contacted us. Days after arriving at the rescue she was showing signs of pain, so we took her to our orthopedic veterinarian and it was confirmed that she needed a second surgery (FHO) on her left rear leg. The surgery went well, and she was quickly back at the rescue to continue her recovery. Her recovery has been slow, but she is showing huge signs of improvement in her foster home! (our home) She has been one of the most interesting rescues, seeing her improve physically and emotionally has been very rewarding to all of us here! Now we are looking for a great home for this pup!
She explores the rescue with ease on her two right legs, and continues to use her rear left leg for stability. We are continuing to work with her to increase her strength in her rear left leg. We are not certain if she will regain total use of the leg, but she is an amazing dog and has learned to manage life on 2 legs. She can do pretty much everything a four legged dog can do including jumping on the furniture and chasing a tennis ball. One of Peaches favorite things to do is to cuddle with her person. She will definitely be a couch potato and will be an inspiring companion. A fenced yard is required.
