Story
Jaya is an amazing survivor. He was likely hit by a car. Then, found hiding in the bushes of a drive thru, people took a picture and posted it to social media instead of stopping to help. It took hours for a rescuer to find him and save him.Once he was safe, he was taken to the shelter for care and treatment. X-rays showed a broken leg and pelvis. Due to the grave extent of his injuries, he had only 48 hours to be pulled from the shelter of he would be euthanized. Boxers and Buddies pulled out all the stops: We found transport to a local airport, a pilot that would volunteer to fly him to Truckee, another volunteer that would drive to Truckee to bring him to Reno, yet ANOTHER volunteer that would foster him and get him to Animal Emergency Center to be seen and evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon.Within 5 days of being found, Jaya was the recipient of a $6,000 surgery that would help him once again be able to walk. Jaya has the most wonderful temperament. He is a calm, but affectionate puppy. His little puppy heart wants nothing more than to be a normal puppy. He is doing so well after his surgery. He is getting stronger every day, increasing his range of motion, and is learning how to navigate the world pain-free.He has been wonderful in every situation that he has been in. He wants to be BFFs with every person and everything he meets. He has best friend doggy friends, best friend kid friends, and best friend adult friends. I have yet to see him meet someone where he is not there instant BFF. He would be BFFs with a lamp if he could! Any of Jaya’s follow up treatments and physical therapy will be covered by the rescue. He would love to find a home of his own where he can recover and grow. As he ages, he may have arthritis and a limp, but the surgeon doesn’t expect any further complications.If you are interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, fill out an adoption application today!We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.
