UPDATE Aug. 8, 2026:
Terry is such a great dog. He came to us in bad shape: his hip was fractured, his fur was completely matted, possibly struck by a car. He had surgery on his hip and came through with flying colors. His fur is growing back nicely, too! He is running and playing like a young dog should! He is using the limb after surgery. He is full of energy. He loves to run and play in the fenced yard in his foster home. Terry loves other dogs and he isn't much of a barker! He's an all around good boy! Terry is ready for his new home.
Meet Terry!
Terry is a sweet little terrier mix. He is approximately 3 years old and weighs 12 pounds. He was a stray in the Norfolk area who was picked up by animal control and taken to the shelter. Upon intake Terry was noted to have difficulty walking and his leg was swinging from the hip joint. He was in some pain as well.
After completing their intake tasks the shelter obtained x-rays. Poor little Terry had a broken hip, most likely from being hit by a car. We inquired about Terry and learned he was scheduled for an amputation surgery Friday, June, 4th. We asked if that was his only option. And, luckily, it was not. He could also have FHO Surgery but the shelter could not afford it. Understandably, they would only consider amputation. Funding is scarce for animal shelters and they definitely do the best they can for each animal. We are grateful for our partnership with NACC. They are a great shelter.
Terry is a young dog and we did not want to see him amputated if possible. We called our clinic in Manassas to find out if they perform the FHO procedure and they do!! And, the best part...they have an opening on Monday, June 8th! We immediately scooped up Terry!
With with a stroke of luck, and the help of Pilots N Paws were able to fly him to Manassas on Thursday, June 4th! He is now comfortable in our foster moms home, receiving pain medication and resting up for his surgery. So far he has been very sweet. He is seeking attention and playing with toys as well. He is very happy to be out of the stressful, shelter environment.
Terry will have FHO surgery along with his neuter on Monday, June 15th. Terry will need some recovery time but small, active dogs recover very quickly from this surgery. If you are interested in donating to his care please use the links below to help out. His current cost estimate is $2437 - $3050, not including vaccine boosters, preventives, pain medication and his neuter.
