Special Needs
Shelby was hit by a car and her front leg was broken in 2 places. The breaks were so severe the bone was overlapping by 3/4 of an inch. Shelby will undergo surgery on 5/24/05 at Carrollton Animal Hospital to repair her leg. She will have a pin inserted in the larger bone to stabilize her leg and she will be in a cast for several weeks while it heals.

Update: Shelby is doing great! In a few short weeks her cast will be removed and she will be ready to go to her forever home. If you would like to meet Shelby please contact Margy Tucker at 469-222-8191 or Margy@NorthTexasScottieRescue.com

North Texas Scottie Rescue received an urgent call Monday morning about a little scottie that had been hit by a car the previous Friday. The callers had taken good care of the little dog over the weekend but knew that she needed urgent medical care and asked if NTSR could take care of her. We agreed and immediately made arrangements to pick up the scottie and transport her directly to the animal hospital.

Upon arriving at the home we found a scared and traumatized little terrier with a badly broken leg. She does not have a drop of scottie blood in her but we immediately fell in love with her and have taken her under our protective wing. This brave little angel has been named Shelby. Despite being in a lot of pain Shelby has the sweetest disposition and greets everyone with a kiss.

Shelby had surgery Tuesday morning and a pin was placed in her leg to stabilize the bone. She is resting comfortably at the Carrollton Animal Hospital where she will stay for several more days. Shelby has already become a favorite and now has her own fan club.

Shelby has been adopted!
