Canyon here looks pretty gorgeous now, but it was a whole different story for this young husky pup, who was about 6 months old last month when he was hit by a truck. His hindquarters were badly injured, and his family had no resources to care for him. They surrendered him to the shelter so he’d get care. The shelter called NorSled.
Canyon’s scapula was broken, and so was his right hind leg–in two places. He was rushed to Sage Veterinary Center where Dr. Marty Aitken performed surgery and managed to save the injured leg. Since then, Canyon made a great recovery and is in his furever home.
All of which is only possible thanks to the kindness of vets who provide services to rescues at much reduced charges, and to donors who help out in times of need. Canyon and his friends are very grateful for that safety net!
