Barron came to an area shelter with a broken left front leg; his owners had splinted it, but could not afford to pay for the surgery to repair the leg.  Barron's owners waited 6 days before bringing him to the shelter; the home-made splint had not set the break in place, so it has been a lengthy struggle to try to repair the tissue & bone damage.

 

Unfortunately, one of the bones in Barron's leg healed, but the other did not.  This put him at certain risk for re-fracturing the leg, so the decision was made to amputate.  Barron's recovery has been very good; he is able to get around well with just 3 legs.

 

Barron is a very sweet boy in spite of his medical trials; he gets along with everyone and loves attention from his foster parents.  As soon as his stitches come out on 12/24/07, he will be ready for adoption.  He will be a wonderful addition to any family with lots of love to give.

 

Barron is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations, HW negative, and on HW preventative.
