I met Lady this morning. First time seeing her at the Dog Park. Didn't even notice, at first, that she was missing her left rear leg. Talked to her mom, who told me that in Lady's previous life she was tied out in the yard and basically just ignored. She managed to get the tie out cable wrapped around her leg. By the time her owners decided to get her to a vet a week later, her leg was dead and had to be amputated. She was surrendered and after her operation, when she healed, Lady was put up for adoption.

Her new mom, a veterinary student, says that Lady is a well-adjusted and very happy dog. She plays well with other dogs but wants nothing to do with humans...other than her mom.

Please consider adopting a 'special needs' dog or cat when searching for your next Best Friend!
