I found Molly that way.
One day working as a phone tech, I found a little red bone hound with a broken back leg. I'm almost certain some piece of shit had kicked her for shitting in the house. I took her to the vet and $500 and a couple weeks later I'd found one of the best friends of my life, and a companion to Jake (also a stray I picked up). We were thick as thieves for 12 years..................................... Life is short, even shorter for dogs. A stray that picks you is the best friend to have. If you have ever had the opportunity to witness one of them stand their ground in defense of you, you will know what I mean. |

Good job on helping those lil fellas Op... in for the rest of the story

Aw, those are beautiful yellow labs! You should keep them both of you can. Great job.

Good on you OP! We've got six rescues at the moment, Nothing beats a rescue dog.
Tag for follow up. |

In 2012 we had some kittens living in the backyard of the house we were renting. One of them came around one day missing a foot, with bone sticking out of the wound.
Very slightly graphic... Click To View SpoilerWe trapped him and took him to the vet. The doctor said that he probably had a 25% chance of making it in the wild with that injury; he had lost a lot of blood and had a lot of infection from it. He was a mess. Here's my wife visiting to check up on him during the 2 weeks he spent at the vet: We named him Spike, and he came to live with us. Really, my wife didn't want to let him go after she had rescued him. Now he's just another lazy cat around our house. OP, this may be the start of a couple of great new pets for you. Thanks for rescuing them, and good luck! |

Dogs are responsibility, they are not toys. People with beautiful furniture and carpets seeing them chewed up, not understanding puppies are like babies, end up turning them loose. Probably Christmas presents and now regret it. A shame, a dog can be your best friend. You will never feel lonlieness.

OP - Thank you for doing the right thing, if we get to a point where donations are accepted for those babies please post here.
Thank you again for helping. |

Good of you to take it on.
We found a young shepherd mix in our yard with an injured leg and took it to the vet. Couldn't keep WODEN as the cats were leaving if he stayed. |

You may not be able to keep them. If so, google rescue organizations that would be able to foster and place them into good homes.
PS, don't let cost have you euthanize them. Whether GoFundMe or just a normal GD appeal, people are very generous in these cases. |

Good on the OP for saving those pups and giving them the loving home they should have been blessed with in the first place. Animals have always been throw away. They reproduce fast enough there's not enough incentive to really take care of them. It's one of the reasons I got a fancy little dog with resale value. If anything happens to me, or we get separated, someone is more likely to want him. Even if it's just to sell him. |

Updated with more pics. Also, we are probably going to have to start a gofundme for that surgery, vet didn't give an estimate because shes not the surgeon that can do it, but its probably going to be expensive.

The rebreak and pin the leg sounds terrible but better than losing a leg. Please consider the donation option at the suitable time so they get the best care and outcome possible.
See post above mine. Excellent. Get plenty of good pictures. Have some at their eye level. |

Did the vet check for microchips? View Quote None, their collars were also really tight. The vet said that my area is nororious for dog dumping grounds, and she thinks that there it no reason to even try to look for the owner. She said that that leg has been broken for weeks if not months and due to their poor health, she thinks that they have been on their own for a long time. Also, the big one is FIERCLY protective of the little injured one, so they are going to have to stay together. |

Good job, OP. They'll be companions of yours for life now.
I think people that mistreat, abuse, or neglect animals should receive the death penalty. Yes, the death penalty. Harsh? Maybe, but they're such shit bag low lifes that the world would be a better place without them mixing in with the rest of us. |

I want to see what it would take to get them healthy and then we may shelter them. We may have to shelter them without the surgery depending on the cost, but at least they will be healthy otherwise. I am working on ways to raise some money as we speak. They are such sweet dogs, if we can't keep them someone would be lucky to have them. |

Poor baby. OP, good on you for helping those poor pups. And tag for updates. |

I would love to take them but I can't. But I will be more than happy to send some cash to help. Perhaps contact the media. They do that here and they get adopted quickly.
