Ontario SPCA Barrie Branch needs help to care for a puppy with a broken leg

We like to let people know about issues facing landlords. Sometimes the issues aren’t only important for landlords and we want to contact as many individuals as we can.

The people of Barrie are a warm hearted community and we love domestic pets.

On Thursday June 20th the Ontario SPCA Barrie Branch received a phone call from TOPDOG K9 Providers doggy daycare as well as training facility Proprietor Operator Kathy Currie-Eyers.

Kathy explained that a German Shepard mix regarding 14 weeks aged was dropped off at TOPDOG K9 daycare.

Whoever dropped the dog stated the puppy had originally been dropped off in the farm her grandma and grandpa own. Unfortunately, the grandparents couldn’t adopt the dog and take care of him.

Kathy said she noticed the puppy was really nervous and very shy and he wasn’t putting any kind of weight on his back leg.

On further inspection she saw the pup’s toe nail had been injured (ripped off) and he was in really bad pain.

The puppy was taken to a veterinarian ...
... where X-rays revealed that dog required surgery as soon as possible to repair the broken back leg The Ontario SPCA Barrie Branch now has the puppy within their care.

They are working with Allandale Veterinarian Hospital to ensure the surgery is finished on “Braveheart.” (That’s the puppy’s brand new name).

Melissa Bainbridge is the branch manager of the Barry branch of the SPCA. She says “We are asking the public for their help with covering the costs of this surgery and others like it.”

She ongoing by saying, “This surgery will be upwards of $2,500, including check ups as well as x-rays, to ensure Braveheart is healing correctly post operatively.”

Donations are being accepted at The actual Ontario SPCA Barrie Branch at 91 Patterson Road, Barrie, Ontario.

If anyone has any kind of information about Braveheart and how he was hurt make sure you contact the New york SPCA Investigations Department at 1-888-668-7722.
