Puppy with Broken Leg Abandoned at the Humane Society
Imagine what it’s like to be alone, afraid, suffering with a broken leg and then abandoned to people you don’t know. That’s what happened to Heidi, a three month old beagle mix puppy that arrived at the Humane Society of Northwest Montana on Friday, November 18th. As Heidi was carried through the door of the Charlotte Edkins Animal Adoption Center, it was obvious that she was in great pain. Her pitiful cries pierced not only the ears of staff and volunteers but also their hearts. While no one knew if Heidi’s injuries were a result of neglect or abuse, everyone knew that she was badly injured and in need of immediate medical attention.
Since the Humane Society cannot afford to retain a veterinarian on staff, they reached out to their friends at Countryside Animal Clinic. After a brief exam and x-ray it was confirmed that Heidi was suffering from a broken femur in her back right leg. Although the dedicated team at Countryside quickly diagnosed the injury and minimized Heidi’s pain, their surgery schedule was full. So, the Humane Society contacted Dr. Kevin Morrell of Alpine Animal Hospital who reviewed Heidi’s x-rays and agreed to help. Sadly, poor Heidi would have to wait three days before she could receive any permanent relief so the caring staff at Alpine Animal Hospital placed her under medical observation and kept her comfortable through the weekend.
On Monday morning November 21st, Heidi underwent surgery with Dr. Morrell who successfully repaired the broken femur with a metal plate and four screws. According to Dr. Morrell, Heidi is expected to make a full recovery since the growth plates in her injured leg were not damaged. On Tuesday afternoon, November 22nd, Heidi was transported back to the Charlotte Edkins Animal Adoption Center where she will be closely monitored for six weeks. After she has fully recuperated, Heidi will be spayed and made available for adoption. As a result of this unexpected emergency, the Humane Society is reaching out to the community and asking for much needed help. They must raise funds to pay for the surgery that was required to save Heidi’s leg.
The Humane Society of Northwest Montana is a 501 (c) (3) donation-based non-profit animal adoption center. They have only one source of funding - and that’s from people like you! Will you please consider making a gift to help pay for Heidi’s surgery?
