http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/lancer This handsome boy, around 5-7 years old, faced a catastrophic limb injury prior to landing with us. He was likely hit by a car, but we canââ¬â¢t say for certain. What we know for certain is that we couldn't say no and knew we had to help him! Sweet Lancer was picked up as a stray by Animal Control. He was non weight bearing on his front left leg and seemed to be in a lot of pain. The shelter had an X-ray done to check out the leg. The radiographs showed multiple fractures of the Ulna and of the Radius. The shelter sent an email out saying that this dog had to be rescued by 4pm. At first glance, we didn't think we could take on yet another complicated medical case, but we also couldn't stand the thought of Lancer being euthanized and we sent a volunteer transporter out to pick him up. Lancer went straight to our vet where his X-rays were evaluated and it was decided that the best outcome for him would be amputation, as his fractures were displaced and pretty old. (His leg had been left broken and mangled for some time.) We can't imagine how painful this was for him, but youââ¬â¢d never know it based on his personality. ðŸâ⢠Lancer fully recovered from his surgery, can get up and down stairs, gets along with large and small dogs, and enjoys zoomies and playful dogs more than just about anything. This cutie is shy and timid around new people (especially men) at first, but once you build trust he'll follow you to the ends of the earth (to ask for belly rubs). He can be more scared of children, although he has lived with them and currently lives with teenagers in his foster home, but doesnââ¬â¢t interact with them (by choice). When they get too rambunctious, he removes himself. Lancer is a gentle soul who canââ¬â¢t wait to find his forever family. The minimum adoption donation is $375 for adults and $500 for puppies. This helps cover vet care, boarding fees, and other expenses. All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
