You might remember this cutie-pie from when we pulled him and his friend Chompers from the Mesquite Animal Shelter back in late June. Chompers had some basic vetting done and was able to travel north in August, but TYSON here had to stay a little while longer for some extra care, as he had medial patellar luxations that were grade 4 out of 4 in both his back legs. This is a condition where the kneecap (patella) slips out of its groove. Poor guy would need not just one, but two surgeries to repair them and restore mobility so that he could live the rest of his life without pain or discomfort.
He also had a much-needed dental done so he'd be able to dazzle any potential adopters with his beautiful smile.
Now he's ready for the next chapter of his life to begin in Minnesota! We're happy he's finally ready for our December Transport this weekend. 🥳
Thank You to Second Chance Animal Rescue for not shying away from saving the older pups, and for providing all the medical care that they need to be healthy and happy.
And Thank You to his wonderful Foster Mom that has cared for him for over 5 months through all the vet visits, surgeries, and recovery. You're an angel! We're so grateful for our foster homes. ❤️ You truly make a positive difference.
