Zelda came into our lives as a rescue. She was very malnourished but that didn’t seem to keep her spirit down. Zelda (like princess Zelda from the video game) is such a loving dog, despite all she has been through. Zelda went missing on 02/28/2025. We searched everywhere, I posted on social sites and went to shelters. Despite our efforts, Zelda was not found. Eight days later we got a phone call, Zelda had been found just a half mile from our home. She had been hit by a car and had been trying to make her way back home the whole time with a broken leg, we took her to Dawson Forest Animal Hospital. Zelda is the most loving Dog I have ever known. She loves to play with toys and snuggles. Zelda has been through so much and when I am facing a difficult situation in my life, I just think about how strong she is to have survived for eight days in the condition she was in and it gives me motivation to stay strong as well. Zelda needs her leg amputated and a few stitches which was quoted at $2,366 from Dawson Forest Animal Hospital. I know she will do just fine as long as she gets this treatment. She is already up and walking even with the bandaged leg, although I can’t let her do too much.
