This sweet Malinois is being fostered in Omaha, Nebraska, by Heartland German Shepherd Rescue.
Sweet little Dublin, our 6 month-old puppy with the injured leg, had it amputated on Monday. Unfortunately, the injury to his leg was an old femur fracture that had healed crooked, rotated, and shortened the leg, causing subluxation of the hip. The limb was not functional and was beyond repair. Since surgical repair was out of the question, amputating the limb so that Dublin could move freely and without pain was the best option available to him. That said, tripods live full, happy, very normal and active lives. We are thrilled that we were able to save Dublin from the shelter, and that his surgery went well. He has a very bright future ahead of him 💕.
