Hi all, sorry to post two dogs so close together but we had two tripawds come in the same week to our local shelter, oddly enough.
This poor GSD girl arrived missing a paw as you can see in the photo. She is trying to walk on it which causes it to bleed and the vet believes it will probably have to be amputated.
You can see in the photo how scared she is 
She was rescued from the Rowlett Animal Shelter by Rockwall Pets. They will need assistance in her medical treatment. Anything that you can spare would be greatly appreciated. You can donate online here: http://rockwall.....onate.html
Rockwall Pets is a wonderful organization that I can vouch for, as they also agreed to save an animal I fostered a few months ago.
Anyway, she has been named Delilah and she needs your help! Thanks. You can search for Rockwall Pets on facebook to stay updated on her progress, and I will try to update here.

Update on Delilah, the GSD pulled by Rockwall Pets. Surgery was done a couple weeks ago to amputate the shorter leg as there was enough missing that it made a prosthesis unworkable. She is healing rapidly and goes in for a check up tomorrow. Pending results of the vet check she could be available for adoption very soon.
Please spread the word about this special girl.
Thanks for the update! Delilah sounds like a sweet girl, we hope she finds a home quickly. Feel free to update her on our Facebook page too!

What a gorgeous girl. She looks much happier in her updated picture! That first pic broke my heart
So glad to see a newer, happier photo! The first one definitely broke my heart too.
I am sure she will find her loving furever home soon.
She is so beautiful, it's hard to believe she is still available. We just put the word out via FB & Twitter, please keep reminding us OK? I hope she finds a family soon!
