Read about this little guy here – in an article called “Dumped But Not Doomed.”

He’s five years old and was just injured November 12. His owners were going to euthanize him – imagine. I’ve had an injured Doxie before, so I know it takes time, but what they probably didn’t realize is that it’s very likely he’ll recover and be able to walk again and do everything normally. It takes rest and time, though and steroid shots. I’ve gone through it, more than once. It’s true that afterwards he’ll need to be especially careful of his back. No walking on stairs. No jumping. But Doxies are like that anyway, though many people ignore the precaution. He’s in Pennsylvania, with someone who rescued him but can’t keep him forever (unless he melts her heart too much to say no).

Anyway, just looking at him, I already love him. I’ll be glad to give any experienced advice on how to help such a beautiful Doxie heal. Mine lived till age 15, after this injury. Look at his sad eyes. He’s a pure bred. You can see that. He misses his home. He’ll so much appreciate a new one.
