It was the worst day of Fleece’s young life. The 12-week-old Shepherd puppy stepped on a hunting trap causing some large wounds on his front left leg. He was in intense pain and all alone until he was found and brought to us at the Winnipeg Humane Society. But because of your help, Fleece’s worst days are behind him. Together we’ll make sure Fleece gets all of the love and care he deserves.

Fleece4When he arrived at our clinic we treated him for lice and took a closer look at his leg. The injury was old and gruesome. We don’t know how long Fleece was in this state, but it was clear he had been managing it alone for a while. The only way to free Fleece from his pain was by amputating his leg.

The one-hour surgery was a success and we noticed a huge difference afterward. Fleece laid down in his kennel comfortably, greeting the staff that saved him with a wagging tail. Despite everything Fleece had been through, he was still friendly and trusting, something we see every day at the WHS.

Fleece is now happily recovering from his surgery in foster care. He is finally living the safe life he deserves and can be as playful and energetic as he wants to be. He no longer worries about protecting himself from the elements, or fears of stepping into a trap again.

Fleece was saved by many people. By the people he came across on his way to the WHS, by WHS staff, by his foster family, by you. Everyone is giving Fleece this opportunity to life pain-free and recover from the gruesome injury he sustained.

When animals are in their greatest time of need, we are there. And we are there because your generosity supports the work of the WHS. The WHS needs to raise $35,000 by the end of the year. Your donation can make a world of a difference for a puppy like Fleece.
