Dog’s Front Legs Backwards
The Sanctuary Animal Rescue in Clewiston, FL has a new family member. Teddy Bear is six weeks old, born with twisted front legs the breeder contacted the rescue to see if they would take him. The sanctuary didn’t even hesitate to make arrangements to get Teddy Bear.
Palena Dorsey started the Sanctuary in March 2004. Her mission was to help those animals that were considered fearful and aggressive, or who were old and ill and about to be put to sleep because of the overwhelming influx of animals at local shelters.
The Sanctuary of course said they would take him. Teddy Bear had a very long trip and it took 30 hours to get there. He was very tired and was coughing too. He was given fluids and put on antibiotics.
Palena is the Executive Director and Teddy Bear lives in her room and stays with her 24 hours a day. He has to be fed often and helped to go potty, but he’s happy.
The Sanctuary Animal Rescue is trying to raise money so Teddy Bear can have surgery to help him, hoping he can eventually get adopted and have his very own home.
What a wonderful woman Palena Dorsey is, stepping in where others may have turned away. If you would like to help you can make a donation directly to Teddy Bear, or for any of the Sanctuary’s residents.
I want to thank you for posting this story I sent you. It really touched me and I wanted to get all of the help I could to get Teddy Bear’s story out in hopes he can have the surgery he needs and go on and live a full and long life. Thank you Dogster for positng it.

I have a Yorki with the same problem and she is now 3 years old. It does not seem to bother her except when she gets up. I recued her and I am also looking to get an operation for her.
