Meet Tilly
Tilly was surrendered after a leg injury that left her owners with the hard decision of finding someone who would be able to afford her vet care.
She was transported to the rescue, where it was discovered she could not use her left leg and she was very underweight. We got her into the vet, and with view via x ray we could see her leg wasn’t broken. The vet believed she had torn a tendon in her leg and that it had a very slim chance of recovering, even with corrective surgery. We decided a amputation would be the best route.
A few weeks later, it was time for the big surgery. She was brought to the vet office where we were shocked to discover the leg was healing and the tendon seemed to “reattach”. Within two more weeks Tilly was able to run on a wheel and jump off ledges.
Tilly beat all odds and is now healthy and nearly ready for an amazing home!
