Hi everyone,
This is a sweet Black Lab that was hit by a car on Valentine's Day. The person that hit him never even stopped to see if he was alive or dead. But a woman that was a few cars behind them did. She called Animal Control to help her search for this sweet boy, that was injured. After a few hours of searching, the good Samaritan and Officer Lainy Watkins found"Cupid". He was hiding under some branches that were near a river bank. He had suffered a broken leg and multiple scrapes and bruises. But he was alive! The Officer rushed him to a local vet, where he was given pain management and had his broken leg bandaged.
Officer Watkins contacted me to help and I went to go see him, what a sweet boy. Even though he was in pain, he still stood up to come greet me in his kennel. We were able to save his leg today. It took 2 hours to repair his badly damaged leg. He will have a long recovery, with more x-rays and splint changes in his future.
I am a very small rescue. We only take in one or two small dogs at a time. So I agreed to help collect donations to help save Cupid's life.
If you or anyone you know can help Cupid with any amount, we would be very grateful. You can send them to me or you can contact Lainy Watkins at the Hollister Animal Shelter Monday -Friday 9-5 at 831-636-4320 or by email at lainy.watkins@hollister.ca.gov
Thank You,
