While we are waiting for an update and maybe some new pictures of Kobe, these are the photos on the rescue site, with his profile. The write up and the photos are pre-operation but show a dog being pampered and very happy, probably for the first time in his life...
We are super excited! He is going to have part of his hip shaved so there will no longer be bone-on-bone rubbing. His muscles will do the rest and help his leg function like it would if it were in the joint. Can you believe all this damage was from trauma, mostlikely a car accident, that went untreated? He is a love and deserves this chance at a better life. He will treat you like a hero as your forever pet and everyone else will think you are one too! He is currently in his foster home in Buffalo, NY with his foster mother and foster brother, Jake. 5/22/10 Kobe was found as a stray and brought to a kill shelter. He has a twisted leg and hobbles around. He doesn't consider himself to be disabled-he runs and plays like all the other dogs. He loves to give kisses and is a real people lover. He may not look perfect but don't tell him that. He thinks he is just great and has a great attitude to prove it. He was due to be put down because nobody wanted him but we did. He drove 12 hours to get here and now waits to find his forever home and a family that will accept him for the sprited, beautiful boy that is Kobe. His leg will be evaluated and whatever care his leg needs will be provided before adoption.
