Last Saturday a Hamburg family was taken a back when they found a starving dog on their porch, hiding behind their barbecue. They brought her in so she could keep warm but noticed she hadn’t been fed in a very long time.
After bringing her to the vet, the family found out that she was very malnourished at only 12 pounds and had been living on bird seed to stay alive. Her rear leg is completely broken and needs to be amputated.
They said it appears she’s had a few litters of puppies. Unfortunately it is also believed she may have been left to fend by herself on purpose and found her way to the kind Hamburg family’s home.
She is now a Hamburg Mutt’s dog and they will need donations to fund the amputation of her leg immediately. She’s used to walking on three legs, so she should be OK.
