Meet Motown

Meet Motown, a wonderful GRCGLA RESCUE dog who came to us with a serious orthopedic problem we're now working to solve. His name brings back Golden times in American musical history. We found him in a shelter singing "Where Did Our Love Go" and "Stop! In the Name of Love." Our volunteer saw him as "My Guy," and told him, "You've Really Got a Hold On Me." He promised to be our "Pride and Joy," and is living up to the bargain.

Motown needs all of us to rally around as he overcomes his physical difficulties. We saw immediately that he was walking with a limp and seemed to be in pain. Veterinary exams and x-rays did not reveal any abnormalities, yet Motown often did not want to put weight on one of his legs, so we scheduled an appointment with a specialist and had MRIs taken. We’ve learned that he has a serious shoulder condition requiring surgery to alleviate his pain and help restore function to his leg. His surgery is scheduled and we’ll provide updates as he progresses through rehab.

Motown is busy thinking ahead to a new family life, and we’ve heard him softly singing, “Someday We’ll Be Together.”
