Sweet Caroline...


Meet our Sweet Caroline, she just wishes good times never seemed so good.

This gentle soul was seized from her owners due to neglect. She was absolutely emaciated and just bones. She also had an injury to her rear left leg and she had been limping, not bearing any weight on it.

Unable to let this sweetie suffer anymore, we pulled Caroline from the shelter and brought her straight to meet our vet. The vet has determined that she was likely hit by a car, and damage has been done to both the growth plate on the knee and the hip bone. Her knee can be left alone, however there is a bone chip in her hip causing bone to rub up against bone, and it must be removed. Caroline will have her operation on Monday, January 11 and updates will be posted once they are available.

Caroline is just under 1 year old and weighs about 30 lbs. One of her eyes is partially blue. While we have no idea of her mix, we are guessing she is Italian greyhound or whippet, possibly mixed with pit. This girl is a true doll, all she wants is to sit in between your legs and be pet and loved. She’s friendly with other dogs too.

She’ll be going into foster care once released from the vet hospital while she waits for her forever home. She’s up to date on shots and will be spayed with adoption.
