Spike is living his best life. He had a spa day, has had all the treatos, has seen our vet, and is resting comfortably in his foster home.

He will begin the search for his forever home in another week or two, but continues to take all of your love and praise from afar for now!

You may remember earlier this year that North Paw went through a period where we just kept bringing in dogs with leg issues. It’s been a few months but meet Huckleberry, our newest dog with multiple leg issues! Like the others, he came to us from Rochester Animal Services where he ended up after being found wandering the streets of Rochester. We suspect that he was hit by a car and left. No regard for his wellbeing. No regard for his life.

Huckleberry’s 2 back hips are not set properly in their sockets. He’ll require a double FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery on September 10th to correct his leg placement and allow him to walk without constant pain. Once he’s healed up from that he’ll have another surgery to amputate his left front leg which was broken when he was even younger and healed incorrectly leaving a bulge and even more pain. He is less than 5 months old and already has a body full of arthritis. Huckleberry’s had a rough start but he’s with us now and doing well in spite of it all.

He’s a very sweet boy who wants to play even when his body doesn’t quite cooperate. He loves people and other dogs. He’s happy in spite of his pain. The cards he’s been dealt haven’t done him any favors but he does his best not to let them slow him down.

He’s still working on potty training. Mostly because, like any toddler, he’s too busy playing to worry about things like getting outside in time. He’s trying! He just doesn’t always make it to the door when he gets a late start but he’s doing his best and improving all the time. He had basically no training when he arrived at his foster home and now can make it through the night in his pen without any accidents. He’s also getting stronger by the day. He loves to run and play, even through the pain. He has recently learned to pull himself up on the couch and loves to lounge after his long expedition upwards.

Huckleberry isn’t accepting applications yet, and won’t be for quite some time still. He is accepting love, care, and pets when you see him out and about! He's accepting sharing his story and the story of so many other dogs like him. And he's accepting donations to help cover the cost of his multiple surgeries, food, and supplies to keep him happy and healthy! Donations can be made via venmo or paypal to . Do you have a buck to send to Huck?

It’s Freedom Friday for Spike!

This 11 year old, hard-of-hearing and arthritic, boy has been living behind door number 6 for 47 days. 47 days of uncertainty. 47 days with no home to call his own. 47 days. Today, because of the power of networking and the volunteers here at North Paw he walked out door number 6 for the very last time. He was set to be euthanized on Monday as no one had come for him. Some local folks here in Rochester started to spread the word about him this week and luckily that word made its way to us. As soon as we saw his story we set to work and came up with a plan to save him.

As of noon today he is safe, he is loved, and he’s had what might be his first ever pup cup. If that post pup cup smile doesn't say freedom we don't know what does! Spike will be seeing our veterinarian later today to discuss the growth on his leg and to get him up to date on his vaccines. He will be bathed to get rid of his past physically and figuratively, and will then be given time and space to decompress, and ultimately he will be adopted. Just from his viral posts alone we have some leads on forever homes for him, and we are so thankful the community rallied behind this old man.

We cannot do the work that we do without volunteers and support from the community. If you have $5 to donate towards his care and the care of others just like him, we appreciate it.

If you are interested in opening your home temporarily to one of the hundreds of thousands of other dogs in need, we are always looking for volunteers. Help us help more dogs get their chance at freedom. Applications to foster can be found on our website, www.northpawrescue.com

Thank you Bruce, for keeping him safe. Thank you to all who shared his story. And thank you to everyone who has and will have a part in his happily ever after.

Happy Freedom Friday to all who celebrate!
