Reason animal needs rescue: Bilateral severe luxating patellas requiring surgical intervention for best quality of life.
Type: Medical
Date animal needs rescue by: ASAP
Impound type: Stray
Off stray hold: Yes
Additional notes: Extremely sweet and friendly female adult dog with bilateral luxating patellas (knee caps) resulting in pain and difficulty moving. Would greatly benefit from at least one of her knees having surgical repair, but this type of surgery is beyond the scope of care of our shelter. No behavior concerns, otherwise appears healthy. Most recent bloodwork results below (all values within normal limits). Will perform OVH and updated bloodwork once rescue is secured.
