Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Campaigns

Fabio
Fabio is a 3-year-old Rez Dog in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for Cephalexin & Bravecto.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Underdog Animal Rescue & Rehab found Fabio at a gas station on a vaccine & food run on we had on the Rez. When we saw the severity of Fabio's condition, we knew we absolutely couldn't leave him behind. Thankfully, our wonderful staff were able to gain his trust with food, and we were able to catch him and bring him back to our Rescue Ranch for treatment. It isn't hard to tell that Fabio's life before coming to Underdog was definitely difficult. However, it is hard to tell where this sweet boy came from. Fabio could have been someone's pet who wandered to the gas station looking for food and never returned, his owners could have passed away, or he could have been dumped. Or, he couldve been born and grown up without a human family at all. Even though Fabio came from a less-than-ideal situation, this sweet boy is wonderfully trusting of people and loves other dogs. Despite his condition, Fabio remains happy and resilient, and we know that once he is healthy and neutered, he will make an absolutely amazing companion for any potential adopter. Fabio is suffering from a severe case of demodex mange and several broken teeth. Thankfully, Fabio tested negative for sarcoptic mange, but he still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. When he is healthy enough to be neutered, his broken teeth will also be pulled. Underdog Animal Rescue & Rehab is the only rescue in the state of Utah solely dedicated to rescuing and supporting the estimated 500,000 stray and unwanted pets of the Four Corners Native American Reservation area.

Bernie
Bernie is a one-year-old Mixed in Moab, UT, who needs $1,925 for urgent hip surgery.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Shortly after Underdog Rescue and Rehab saved Bernie, it became clear he was in pain. "We first noticed something was wrong with Bernie's leg when he was trying to play and didn't seem to want to put his hind leg on the ground," Cheyleen P., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "We quickly got him into the vet to have X-Rays and a checkup. During this appointment, we learned he had a shattered femoral head in his hip." The medical team at Mill Creek Animal Hospital quickly got Bernie into the operating room and performed surgery on his hip to ease his pain. "Once our vet was able to open his leg up to get a closer look, it became evident that the injury was old as there was an immense amount of scar tissue build-up. Bernie had to stay at the vet for three days while undergoing a procedure each day to remove all of the scar tissue," Cheyleen says. The rescue says they are so thrilled to help Bernie. "He is the goofiest, sweetest, most playful boy. Everyone at the rescue ranch here in Moab, UT, instantly fell in love with him upon arrival. He was an amazing office dog as he would just sit and hang out while watching us work. Bernie absolutely loves other dogs and insists on meeting any that come into proximity with him," Cheyleen says. Bernie has a ridiculously expressive face. He makes it so obvious when he is upset or happy. He is beyond trusting and caring as he has only ever known love. Bernie is a velcro dog. He would follow his people to the ends of the earth if it meant that he was with them. Bernie is such a sweet and compassionate companion dog. Now the rescue is frantically trying to raise the money to cover Bernie's veterinary bill. "Here at Underdog, we take every medical case that is presented to us; this creates hefty vet bills," Cheyleen says. "Every donation makes a difference, and we cannot thank all of our donors enough for providing these amazing animals with a fair shot at life."

Erica
Erica is a Chihuahua mix puppy in Moab, UT, who needs $1,724 for urgent surgery.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Days after Underdog Rescue and Rehab saved Puppy Erica; they noticed she wasn't eating and was losing weight. Her foster family brought her to Mill Creek Animal Hospital, where the medical team ran tests. Then the staff rushed Erica in for exploratory surgery, and good thing they did! "Our surgeon found part of her intestines were compromised, and she needed them removed," Cheyleen P., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "Erica's vet bills have racked up to over $5,000." Now the nonprofit group is rushing again, this time to raise the money to pay Erica's medical tab! "Being able to help sick and injured animals so frequently is something we are blessed to be able to do here at Underdog, and it wouldn't be possible without all of our lovely donors. Every penny helps," Cheyleen says. The rescue wants anyone considering giving to Erica's campaign to know she is worth every penny! "Erica is not like most Chihuahuas," Cheyleen adds. "She is snugly and sweet and not vocal at all. Erica would prefer to be held and snuggled more than anything else. She is sassy and knows she is adorable, and uses it to her advantage. This tiny, little five-pound pup is stronger than most humans we know. Erica deserves a shot at a normal life." In fact, Erica has won the hearts of her foster family! "Erica was placed into foster care so she can heal and recover in the comfort of a loving home," Cheyleen adds. "Her new foster siblings have fallen head over heels, and her foster parents weren't far behind. Erica's lovely foster parents plan to adopt her as soon as she is available. They cannot imagine life without her now." Please help Underdog pay the veterinary bills for their latest underdog!

Laya
Laya is a one-year-old Catahoula mix in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for life-saving surgery.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Laya was surrendered to Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab, and soon after got seriously ill. Veterinarians discovered the pup's body is creating multiple liver shuts. That means the central vein running to her liver is not connected correctly, making it impossible for her liver to function and remove toxins from her system. Now she needs intricate and life-saving surgery at Colorado Animal Specialty Emergency (CASE) to fix the problem. "The toxins are being released freely into Laya's bloodstream. The veterinarian at CASE describes her surgery as a 'once in a career operation,'" the rescue tells Waggle. The nonprofit rescue is doing everything it can to raise the money for Laya's urgent surgery. "Laya has not had a fair start in life," the group says. "We know situations like this are common in the rescue world, but we will always strive for a better tomorrow. Every amount helps." Laya is one of nearly 1900 dogs the nonprofit organization has saved since they started in 2017. The group is dedicated to helping animals and supporting Native Americans of the Four Corners reservations in the Southwestern United States; that's where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. "If you look at a map, that point is someplace you can literally go stand with one foot in all four states at the same time," Katy Gullette, who founded the rescue, tells Waggle. The Four Corners region is home to The Navajo Nation, which alone spans 27,000 square miles, an area bigger than the state of West Virginia. Several other tribes have reservations in the area and all struggle with poverty and a lack of basic services. Underdog says Laya is a true underdog and hopes you will give to help her this holiday season. "She is the definition of joy. She is gentle, sweet, and so trusting, ready to love and be loved. Everyone who meets her falls head over heels! We believe the universe gifted us the joy of little Laya for a reason. We will do whatever it takes."

Frijolito
Frijolito is a Terrier mix puppy in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for emergency care.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Frijolito is in a fight for his life, and he needs your help! The sweet puppy was surrendered to Underdog Rescue and Rehab with his littermates and mother. Then all his puppy siblings took a turn for the worse and passed away. "It was tragic," Chey P., with the group, tells Waggle. The staff whisked Frijolito to Mill Creek Animal Hospital and got grave news: He had Parvo, a potentially deadly virus, and he was hypoglycemic. The medical team quickly started the pup on IVs of medications and fluids. "We were so worried about him," Chey says. "He was so small, but we knew he was a fighter." The pup spent days at the hospital getting critical care, resulting in a $3000 bill for the rescue. The nonprofit group relies on generous pet lovers for these expensive medical cases, and they're trying to raise the money to pay for Frijolito's tab. "Our policy here at Underdog is 'no dog left behind,' this means we take in all of the medical cases. No matter how large. Donations are the only reason we can do this," Cheyleen P., with the rescue, tells Waggle. Underdog is already starting to see signs of improvement in Frijolito, and he's now out of the hospital. "Once he's healed up, he will be up for adoption. We are so thrilled. We want to say a huge thank you to anyone who donates to his campaign. This was an unexpected and emergency bill for us," Chey says. Please help Frijolito's 2022 be merry and bright!

Rascal
Rascal is a 1-year-old Mixed Breed in Moab, UT, who needs $1,200 for Double Femur Surgery.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
We noticed something was wrong when Rascal tried to play and couldn't put his full weight on his back legs. Those breaks had healed on their own. Of course, they didn't heal correctly and one leg was a couple inches shorter than the other. We were horrified to learn of his injuries and that they were almost positively purposefully inflicted by a person. Rascal is the absolute sweetest, most loving and trusting dog! We all instantly fell in love with him here at Underdog. Not to mention, we almost didn't notice he was in pain. He has been through so much trauma and continues to have such an amazing spirit, play with other dogs, and is genuinely so happy to be around people. He is truly a miracle dog! At Underdog, we are at capacity with our rescue dogs so one of our amazing staff agreed to foster Rascal and care for him after his surgery. The amount of dogs just like Rascal is astounding, and with generous donations, we can keep saving lives. We didn't even realize how much pain he was in until Dr. Scott at Mill Creek Animal Hospital had to sedate him in order to x ray his legs. We learned that, unbelievably, he had 2 broken legs. Both of his femurs were broken in the same place and had healed incorrectly. Additionally, we learned that the large scar on his back was likely a burn and he would probably not grow fur there again. How could such a young puppy survive this kind of abuse, still trust and love humans, and be so strong to walk on two broken legs without conveying his pain? Someone had hurt him in an unimaginable way and he was still such a sweet and trusting puppy, following around his foster everywhere she went. We have been astonished by his resilience.

Oscar the Grouch, Bert, Kermit
Oscar the Grouch, Bert, Kermit is a NaN-year-old Mixed in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for Parvo treatment.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
These guys were also born at the ranch in the Sesame Street litter to mom Emme. Oscar the Grouch and Bert are still at the vet, recovering. Unfortunately, Kermit passed away on 7/15 while receiving treatment. Oscar the Grouch and Bert have been very happy living at the ranch. They are sweet with lots of crazy puppy energy. They are so happy to see humans and always want to be paid attention to and loved on. Kermit has been such a happy pup. His short life was one filled with lots of love and fun. It has been a very challenging time for us at Underdog having so many pups come down with Parvo at once. We make sure all of our pets receive the best care we can find for them. Any donation to help us pay for these vet bills is incredibly helpful! Oscar the Grouch and Bert are still fighting at the vet. Their bodies are working very hard to fight off this virus. It seems hopeful they will pull through and make a full recovery. We were super sad when we found out that Kermit passed away. We are happy to know that we were able to give him a great life while he was with us. It's always special to us when we have pups born at the Ranch. All of our dogs are family, but even more-so when they are born with us. They are a rowdy, happy, bunch of puppies. They love to eat, play with one another and get very excited when anyone comes to give them love. We have really enjoyed getting to know this group of pups.

The Lorax, Horton and Goyle
The Lorax, Horton and Goyle is a NaN-year-old Mixed in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for Parvo treatment.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Goyle was born at the ranch to mom Valerie. His sibling was Crabbe. The Lorax and Horton came to us in the Dr. Suess litter when they were only 4 weeks old. They were dumped on a country road in Mexican Hat. They went to foster until they were old enough to be adopted. The Lorax and Horton are recovered and back at the ranch. Goyle is still at the vet being treated. Goyle is a very happy pup and has had a good life being born at the ranch with his siblings. He has quite the personality and has had fun having siblings to grow up with. The Lorax and Horton are still learning that life is safe after being strays for the first few weeks of their life. But they are acclimating well and becoming confident pups. It has been a very challenging time for us at Underdog having so many pups come down with Parvo at once. We make sure all of our pets receive the best care we can find for them. Any donation to help us pay for these vet bills is incredibly helpful! Lorax and Horton are back at the Ranch and thriving. Horton has already been adopted out and will get to go to his new home after he makes his full recovery. Goyle is still fighting at the vet. It's a lot on these little pups but we know the vet is doing everything they can to help all our Parvo cases make a full recovery. Goyle is a talker! He has a lot to say! The Lorax and Horton are a bit more reserved and take a bit of time to warm up to you. But they are very bonded to one another and keep one another feeling safe. All 3 pups, before getting sick, were very healthy and adapting well to their life at the Ranch.

Play Dough, Low Fat and Crabbe
Play Dough, Low Fat and Crabbe is a NaN-year-old MIxed in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for Parvo.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Playdough was brought to us as a single stray puppy. Both Low Fat and Crabbe were born at the ranch in different litters. They all broke with parvo in July. Playdough pulled through and is back at the ranch. Low Fat is still at the vet being treated. Crabbe unfortunately died from parvo on 7/14. PlayDough is a little ball of sweetness and energy. She loves everyone and is super curious to take in her surroundings. It has been fun to watch her grow in confidence and courage with more positive human and animal interactions. Low Fat and Crabbe have both been very easy puppies and, until contracting parvo, have been thriving at the ranch. It has been a very challenging time for us at Underdog, having so many pups come down with Parvo at once. We make sure all of our pets receive the best care we can find for them. Any donation to help us pay for these vet bills is incredibly helpful! Moab Vet Hospital is taking great care of our animals. They have great vet techs who make sure to give lots of time to overseeing the animals and also provide them with pets and love. The pups were given antibiotics and fluids and two were able to make a full recovery. Unfortunately, one was unable to pull through, however. We are very sad to have lost Crabbe. I love Play Dough's courage with the bigger dogs at the ranch. She is tiny yet fearless! She is also always giving out kisses and making bids to play with those around her. Having lost her family, she gets sad when the humans in her life have to leave. I can't wait until she can find a stable home and be treated with the same unconditional love she is always giving away.

Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Grover
Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Grover is a NaN-year-old Mixed in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for Parvo.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
These guys were born at the ranch to their mom, Emme. We have had them now for about 3.5 months. They tested positive for parvo in July. Cookie Monster and Big Bird pulled through but unfortunately Grover died on 7/14 just the day after he went to the vet. These three are very fun pups. They are high energy and very lovable. It's always fun for us to be able to experience pups from the time they are born, and then watch them grow in to more mature puppies. They have been very easy to work with - always hoping for special attention and love. It has been a very challenging time for us at Underdog having so many pups come down with Parvo at once. We make sure all of our pets receive the best care we can find for them. Any donation to help us pay for these vet bills is incredibly helpful! All three pups received great care at our nearby vet hospital. We were very surprised when we found out that one wasn't able to pull through. It is always hard to lose one of our Underdogs. We are happy to see that the other two, post medical treatment, have made a full recovery and are back to their playful selves. Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Grover all have very unique personalities. They have great sibling banter and also look out for one another. They are very trusting and friendly, since they've only ever received care from us at the Ranch. They know it as their home and have become quite comfortable with all of us who care for them.

Jude Paw & Woofie Goldberg
Jude Paw & Woofie Goldberg is a 1-year-old Mixed in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for Parvo.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Jude Paw and Woofie Goldberg were brought to us (along with their sister Sarah Jessica Barker) from the Bluff Animal Rescue. They were found as strays wandering the road in Monument Valley looking for shade. Jude Paw and Woofie came down with parvo on 7/8. Jude recovered on 7/13 but unfortunately Woofie Goldberg died on 7/12. Both of these pups were/ are incredibly sweet. They are a bit shy from their rough start in life but became much more confident and trusting during their time at the ranch. They are beautiful dogs and have been a delight to work with and help rehabilitate. We will greatly miss Woofie Goldberg but are also very grateful his 2 siblings are now healthy and thriving. It has been a very challenging time for us at Underdog having so many pups come down with Parvo at once. We make sure all of our pets receive the best care we can find for them. Any donation to help us pay for these vet bills is incredibly helpful! Jude Paw and Woofie Goldberg both were treated at a nearby vet hospital. They have been caring for all of our parvo- pups and do so with a lot of love and care. Jude Paw has made a full recovery and will soon be ready to be adopted out. Unfortunately Woofie Goldberg was not able to beat the virus and is no longer with us. Jude Paw is a very sweet boy. In his run at the ranch, he is usually sitting patiently waiting for attention while his other puppy, run- mates are jumping all over us for attention. He is calm which is quite unusual for a puppy. Jude Paw emanates a type of wisdom and confidence that I am in awe of.

Duck
Duck is a one-year-old Shepherd mix in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for heart surgery.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Being at the right place at the right time may have helped save Duck's life. Underdog Rescue set up a spay and neuter clinic to help pets animals in the community and ended up saving Goose. "Duck and her sister, Goose, were brought to us on day one of the clinic," Chiara S., with Underdog Rescue, tells Waggle. "They hung out with us for the weekend until we could get them transported back to the rescue's ranch in Moab, UT. Soon after, they both went to a foster home in Grand Junction, CO, and flourished. When they went in to be spayed, the vet discovered Duck had a grade six heart murmur." (Grade six is the most severe heart murmur.) The rescue had quite a rollercoaster ride after that diagnosis. They learned Duck's heart defect could be corrected with surgery. Expensive surgery. If left untreated, she would die from heart failure in two to three years. So the rescue said: Let's raise the money to help Duck! "We think Duck is worth it. Donors who help us pay for treatment are incredibly helpful to our organization and to ensure our pups get the medical care they need," Chiara says. Duck is now scheduled for surgery at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. Please help Duck mend her broken heart.

Jasper
Jasper is a two-year-old Lab mix in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for critical care.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Jasper was found struggling to walk to his water bowl in 109-degree heat on a reservation in New Mexico. Originally rescuers thought he had been hit by a car. It was clear he was in agony and needed to get to an animal hospital immediately, but his owner could not afford his care. Someone got in touch with Underdog Rescue, and the organization rushed him to Mill Creek Animal Hospital. He arrived filthy, suffering, and scared. "We aren't totally sure of Jasper's personality," Chiara S., who helped the rescue with Jasper's care, tells Waggle. "We have only seen him in a great deal of pain and very lethargic. However, in my visits to him at the hospital, he has been incredibly sweet. His kind eyes are always happy to see me. I think he knows we are doing everything we can to help him get better!" The rescue soon learned Jasper has a broken back; one of his lower vertebrae is fractured. "The veterinarians wonder if it happened from some sort of downward stress like someone stomped on him, or perhaps something could have fallen on him," Caroline D., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "He's on a lot of medication and still in a lot of pain." Jasper has an entire medical team tending to him. The rescue has spent thousands of dollars on his care, including X-rays, specialists, and medications. He has to remain at the veterinarian's office and on strict rest while they see if his vertebrae will heal on its own. Unfortunately, surgery won't help Jasper, but he is making friends during his long stay at the animal hospital. "Everyone that has come in contact with him has been greeted with a willingness to be helped and sweetness from this injured boy," Chiara adds. "I can't wait to see him get the help needs and make a full recovery." Underdog Rescue is a nonprofit organization that depends on donations to help Jasper and the more than 1400 dogs the group has saved from the Four Corners reservations of the American Southwest. They help provide medical services, spay and neuter resources, and adoption services while supporting Native Americans in the care of their animals. "We know that in situations like this if we don't help the dog, they will likely be left to die," Chiara says. "We do our best to help as many animals from the reservation as we possibly can at Underdog. Knowing Jasper's vet bill will greatly exceed $2,000, any contribution helps."

Gucci Mane
Gucci Mane is a six-month-old Lab mix in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for leg fracture repair.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Poor Gucci Mane was run over by a car and faced severe injuries. "His accident broke two bones in his leg and three in his pelvis," Chiara S., with Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab, tells Waggle. The group immediately brought him to Mill Creek Animal Hospital, where the medical team placed him in a cast and put him on strict rest. Then the most amazing thing happened! A veterinary student fell in love with Gucci and offered to foster him. Chiara says Gucci is so loveable she can see how he won hearts at the veterinarian's office. "When someone looks at Gucci, they are immediately attracted to his piercing eyes," she says. "Gucci loves people and knows what happened to him was an accident and is ready to give his two-legged friends another chance." Underdog Rescue is a nonprofit organization that depends on donations to help the more than 1400 dogs the group has saved from the Four Corners reservations of the American Southwest. They provide medical care, spay and neuter resources, and adoption services while supporting Native Americans in the care of their animals. Underdog brings much-needed help to a highly underserved population. Please help Gucci get back on his feet again!

Arlo
Arlo is a four-year-old Pitbull mix in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for emergency leg surgery.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
No one knows what Arlo's life was like before Underdog Rescue saved him, but it was clear he had been through a lot of trauma. His sweet face was covered with scars, and one of his back legs was fractured. "We don't know how the injury happened. It was pretty horrific and severe," Chiara S., with the rescue, tells Waggle. Arlo was in pain and struggling to get around with the terrible wound. He needed surgery immediately to fix it at Mill Creek Animal Hospital. "We're not sure what would have happened to Arlo if Underdog didn't step in to rescue him," Chiara says. "Underdog was faced with a $2,000 surgery to fix his leg, and we didn't even blink. This boy deserves another chance to run on all fours, play comfortably with other dogs, and jump onto the couch for snuggle time." Underdog Rescue is a nonprofit organization that depends on donations to help the more than 1400 dogs the group has saved from the Four Corners reservations of the American Southwest. They help provide medical care, spay and neuter resources, and adoption services while supporting Native Americans in the care of their animals. Arlo was found in Colorado on the Ute Mountain Reservation. Chiara says his soulful eyes and his story inspire her and other rescue members to continue their amazing work. "It's motivation to keep fighting for these animals. We never turn a dog away because of their medical needs. We are a small rescue that relies on our supporters to help us through emergency medical cases," she says. If you can donate to help Arlo get back on his feet again, he would be so appreciative. Once he is fixed up, he will be available for adoption and hopes to finally find his forever family. "Arlo makes sure to communicate his feelings through moans, groans, whines, and whimpers," Chiara adds. "He is a mellow office dog and will be a great companion. Arlo is a sweet boy from the reservation, and (with your help!) he will fight to see another tail-wagging day."

Slinky and Yoyo
Slinky and Yoyo are 1-year-old mix pups in Moab, UT, who need $2,000 for Parvo Treatment.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Slinky(M) and Yoyo(F) were found abandoned in Newcomb, NM on the Navajo Reservation in early January. A long-time supporter of Underdog Rescue and Rehab saw them cowering under some trash to try and keep warm from the chilly winter winds and scooped them up. Since recovering from Parvo, both Slinky and Yoyo are now in their forever homes. Slinky and Yoyowere very energetic, happy, and vocal pups. So when their foster reported that they were acting lethargic and uninterested in food, we knew something was wrong. After three nights of intensive care, Slinky and Yoyo are both back to their energetic selves. They love exploring and following their noses to new places. They enjoy playing with other dogs and learning new tricks. Underdog Rescue has saved 1400 + dogs from the res. We never turn a dog away because of their medical needs. We are a small rescue that relies on our supporters to help us through emergency medical cases. Slinky and Yoyo were transported to our foster in Grand Junction, CO. Later, the foster reached out and said Slinky was acting lethargic and was uninterested in food. At Amigo Animal Clinic, Slinky was diagnosed with Parvo. Two days later, Yoyo was diagnosed with Parvo too. Each pup spent three nights in intensive care at the vet for IV fluids to ensure they survived. Slinky and Yoyo are from the Navajo Nation reservation. They were rescued from the estimated 250,000+ stray animals on the rez. Rez dogs are against some of the harshest environments, deadly dog diseases, and cannot access basic needs. When these pups survived abandonment in the winter on the rez and deadly disease, they became heroes in our eyes.

Zelda
Zelda is a 1-year-old Husky Mix in Moab, UT, who needs $2,000 for Stifel (knee) fracture repair.
Moab, UT • Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab- Moab
Zelda was rescued from the Navajo reservation and brought to Underdog Rescue and Rehab. When this 8 month old, husky mix girl arrived at the Ranch, we knew she needed emergency medical attention immediately. X-rays showed that she had a broken hip and would require surgery and therapy to recover. 6 weeks post-surgery, she now enjoys life with her foster mom and furry sister and now new family! Zelda was in a foster home for 6 weeks. She loves to play with other dogs. Any time there is a hand nearby, Zelda will find a way to receive some love-check out her video meeting her new fur-ever family! She has a morning routine of going in and out of the dog door continuously and loves parading around the house with her stuffed chicken. Zelda is gaining confidence and is such a goofy gal. Underdog Rescue has saved over 954 dogs. We never turn a dog away because of their medical needs. We are a small rescue that relies on our supporters to help us through financially hard times. COVID, and multiple intense medical cases last month mean we need your support. Mill Creek Animal Hospital has been treating Zelda since she came into Underdog's care. Dr. Scott performed surgery on Zelda's hip to stabilize it. Now, the new bone isn't growing correctly and Dr. Scott will need to perform another corrective surgery. Zelda has been vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed. She is ready for her adopters home, but medical costs and treatments still remain. Zelda is a survivor. We don't know her past or how her hip was broken, but she has given us the chance to save her. She trusts us completely with her happiness and health and we cannot let her down. There are a variety of ways she could have broken her hip including at the hands of humans, but regardless, this girl has so much love to give and we will support her recovery until she is adopted.
