MEDICAL FOSTER NEEDED in LVL area!
Aspen is a 2-3 year old female Great Pyrenees at about 82ish lbs who was found roaming as a stray with 3 other dogs, and come to find, Aspen had a SEVERELY broken back leg. After visiting the GRRAND vet, it was thought it had been broken for about 4 weeks or so, yet this girl kept a happy face and waggy tail. She had a 2+ hr surgery to repair the fractures with 12 pins and a heavy duty plate!! The surgeon said the fractures were at least 4 weeks old and she had worn down parts of the bone by walking on it so long. The multiple pins and the plate are holding the bone fragments in alignment while her body produces bone to fill in the gaps.
Recovery will be long and her mobility will be restricted for the coming 8-12 weeks to ensure the bone is strong again. She is scheduled to go for a check up and staple removal on Oct 22. After that date we are hopeful we can find someone who is willing to care for her thru the duration of her healing. She is in a temp foster home now, and GRRAND is actively seeking a more permanent foster home for her to recover in.
The plan is to check the bone healing at the 8 week mark and if the bones are sufficiently healed, they will do pin removal and spay. If not then they will wait up to 4 weeks longer and reassess.
Aspen is a very sweet girl. She is house trained, tolerates her 5x5 restricted area well. Goes outside on a leash only (til the pins come out). She gets along with her fosters 3 dogs, observes the cat and interacts nicely with my 8 yo grandson.
If you are willing and able to support this beautiful girl through her healing process please reach out to us immediately. Aspen must to stay in the Louisville area so she can complete her follow up care. Please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
She is looking for a home that has a secure fenced yard as Great Pyrs love to roam and patrol their "space" and they do that best in a securely fenced area.
