At PetLynx Corporation we LOVE happy endings! So we are thrilled to share this amazing story from Edmonton, Alberta, of how love and family are important .... especially at Christmas!
She was a young, homeless single mom trying to raise her puppies, but true to the spirit of the season there was room for one more...
The badly injured German Shepherd-cross was caring for her newborn puppies — and a kitten — on a central Alberta reserve when she was found by rescue volunteer Criss Gerwin.
Gerwing took the entire family to the Edmonton Humane Society, where veterinarians thought they'd have to amputate the mother dog's bad leg. But local vet, Dr. Milton Ness, Capilano Veterinary Clinic, volunteered to do a special surgery that saved her hind quarter.
The dog is expected to fully recover. She, her puppies and her kitten may soon be available for adoption. Her new name -- Esperanza -- bodes well for her and her furry family's future — it means "hope" in Spanish.
