This sweet dog was found on the side of the road by an Oakland Police Officer late on Thanksgiving night. It was clear the dog was seriously injured so the officer immediately rushed him to PETS Emergency Hospital where the veterinarians determined he had two broken legs. They suspect that the dog was probably hit by a car. PETS called us and we contacted Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS) who wanted to help and agreed to pay for his x-rays. The injuries turned out to be quite serious but an employee at PETS called a friend at Groveway Veterinary Clinic who generously agreed to care for the dog at no cost. Last but certainly not least, German Shepherd Rescue agreed to place this dog in a foster home to help him along while he heals and then find him an adopter. This is a special story of what can happen when people committed to animals work together. A lucky dog, and a great team of people willing to do what it takes to save his life!
