Okapi

Okapi is about 4.5 months old. She is a mix of a shepherd/Cattledog/Pit Bull mix who has beaten incredible odds just to be here today.<br/><br/>Okapi is currently in a foster home recovering from surgery. She severely fractured her growth plate. We are looking for a temporary foster home who has the time to give her the care she needs. Recovery time is about 4 to 6 weeks. She is a very loving puppy. Super friendly and playful. We are accepting applications for adoption or if you would like to foster her.<br/><br/>Okapi is doing really well. The pins were removed from her leg and the bandage is off. She is so happy to be walking around and not have to wear the cone on her head.<br/><br/>PUPdate: Okapi has her last check up today. the pins have been removed and she has been cleared to excercise and play. She is an extremely happy girl. She loves attention and she is always smiling. <br/><br/>Pupdate: Okapi had surgery on her leg Wednesday. The surgery went very well. Pins were insered in her knee area to correct the growth plate and another broken bone. Her recovery time is approx. 4 to 6 weeks. In 4 weeks, x-rays will be re-taken to see how the bones are healing. We are looking for a temporary foster home to care for Okapi during this time.<br/><br/>Before arriving from Bakersfield, Okapi and her sister, Panda, were tiny puppies suffering from pneumonia, They watched nearly their entire litter disappear. Four siblings died in the shelter, two more died in foster care, and another was euthanized at the hospital. Against all odds, Okapi and Panda survived.<br/><br/>Today, their journey took another heartbreaking turn. Okapi was found to have a severly fractured growth plate in her rear leg and will need surgery to repair it.Once her surgery is complete, Okapi will need a quiet foster home where she can safely recover, heal, and continue growing into the happy puppy she deserves to be. After everything these girls have endured, we're hoping someone will open their heart and help give Okapi the soft landing she so desperately needs.<br/><br/>Can you be her hero? <br/>A foster home can make all the difference in her recovery.
