Bayley moves to foster home

Bayley is recovering beautifully from his surgery and is now in a foster home.  He had a follow up appointment with his orthopedic surgeon and his recovery couldn’t be going better.  Both of his legs have shown tremendous improvement and are getting stronger each day.  He walks with the assistance of a sling and is able to stand on his own for short periods of time.  This young boy has boundless amounts of energy and drive to get better and doesn’t realize he still needs to rest. 😊  He is enjoying many short walks a day with his sling and LOVES long walks in his doggie stroller to get him out and about.  We are so pleased with how well he is doing!

 

Bayley sends a pupdate

Hi my name is Bayley! I’m a very sweet boy with a great disposition. I’ve been through a lot and no matter what I’m always happy to make friends. When GRC first found me I couldn’t use my back legs but they are taking care of me now and they got me surgery to fix them. I can stand now for short periods of time and I’m getting better every day. My favorite things are people, cuddles and food. I might like to play catch but I just can’t do that yet. I hope I can find my forever home soon.

 

 

Bayley leaves orthopedic vet facility

Bayley moved to his regular vet yesterday for continued care. He is such an amazing young dog and is improving each day. He is working on getting his urination under control and using his sling to learn how to walk. Bayley doesn’t realize he is hurt and wants to run. His vet tech says he is the greatest dog ever!

 

 

Bayley is already making good progress!

Bayley is staying at the speciality orthopedic hospital for several days so the surgeons can keep an eye on him and ensure he is healing correctly. He is able to get up on his own to drink water and eat. He isn’t putting much weight on his leg just yet, but as he heals, we look forward to gradual changes each day.

Meet Bayley - hit by car and abandoned

Bayley is just a bit over a year-old. He came in to Rescue unable to stand, with a compound fracture in his right leg. He was found stray on the street in the San Diego area. The people who found him and turned him over to Rescue reported that they were able to contact his owners; the owners stated Bayley was hit by a car and, since they did not have the means to pay for his care, they abandoned him. He is now one of our Shamrock Dogs.

We immediately had x-rays and a full work up done, including a MRI. He will need surgery and 6-8 weeks of very limited movement and rest. His prognosis is good.
