I received an email back in January from an area shelter that was full and needed foster homes/and adoptees. They attached a list of their most urgent dogs that were to be put down that weekend (This was Friday). They were special need dogs and so the list only went out to rescue groups I believe. This list had pictures of all their special needs dogs and the last one was a Min Pin mix with an injured left rear leg. I told the humane society that I volunteer with that I would foster if they would take him but I had no intentions of keeping him. Yeah right! They picked him up and took him to the vet. They originally thought they could save his leg so he was scheduled for surgery. As time passed (we waited for a part for the surgery) the specialist decided against surgery because he was young and it wasnt hurting him. Apparently the leg had been broke for a while and had healed wrong so he had little use of it. We brought him home and he immediatley got along with my other two min pins. Learned to use the pee pads immediatly and learned how to wrap me around his little paw. He is more mild than my other min pins, loves everyone and loves car rides. I decided I couldnt give him up so we told the Humane Society that we wanted to adopt him after Easter. Easter weekend I noticed his injured leg, around the bone, was filling with liquid. We took him back to the vet and they said that this would happen everytime the weather changed and he would be in pain each time. They recommended amputation so that is what we did. He had his surgery on April 16th. I got to bring him back home on April 20th. He is doing awesome! We had to push back our adoption date until he is healed but that shouldnt take too long.
