Ollie is a 2-year-old Beagle in Middletown, CT, who needs $1,200 for Fractured rear leg.

Ollie escaped from his home. He was terrified and unable to be caught. He was finally caught in a trap and returned home. We thought it was the happy ending we all wanted but he escaped AGAIN. This time, unfortunately, he was struck by a car and his leg was fractured. He was caught in a trap a second time and brought to our vet for care. Luckily he just needed a splint and not surgery.

Ollie's owner signed him over to Middletown Animal Control. Unfortunately, he was more than they were prepared for and they were unable to keep him safely contained. We agreed to get him the care he needed. We then found him an amazing new home where he can get the attention he needs. Ollie is a shy boy that is slowly learning to come out of his shell. He has 3 dog siblings that he loves!

Ollie was signed over to Middletown Animal Control because his owners could not afford his care and were not prepared for his lack of socialization. We are a municipal agency with a limited budget. Our goal is to help every animal and to find resources when needed.

Ollie was treated at the Pieper Memorial Veterinary Center for his leg injury. Fortunately, his leg was only fractured but not displaced. He was able to get away with a splint that needs to be changed every two weeks. He avoided surgery! He still needs two more bandage changes and another set of x-rays to ensure he is healed.

Ollie has been restricted due to his leg splint but he is learning what play is. He is gentle and sweet but terribly shy. Every day starts out slowly but by the end he is running around and playing with his new toys. He rides quietly in the car to go to his vet visits. His new Mom & Dad are working to socialize him and give him lots of love. He is ridiculously cute!
