Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Powell ended up at a shelter in Davies County, KY 3 as a stray 3 times between July and December 2016. This time, he had gotten hit by a car and fractured his hip bone. He also acquired heartworms, and his owner did not want him back any longer.
The shelter did not have the resources to help this dog, so we stepped up. He is already receiving treatment for the severe heartworm infestation, an ear infection, and a skin infection. Since he may not be a good surgical candidate at this time, we have elected to go with the least invasive treatment option for his hip fracture, which is crate rest. His recovery will be a long and slow process.
We will make him available for adoption, once he is cleared by our veterinarian.
