Rescue story (if you know):
Kiko was a young street dog that we looked after for about 5 months. after not seeing him for a few weeks we found him with a serious shoulder wound that exposed his leg tendon, making it impossible for him to use that leg. He was taken to a veterinary hospital where it was determined that the wound, while deep, only affected the muscle. Kiko stayed in the hospital for about ten days, receiving antibiotics And then surgery
After the initial surgery, Kiko’s wound needed drainage, leading to close monitoring. Once he recovered, he was placed in a paid foster home. Unfortunately, Kiko developed swelling near the surgical wound a few days later.
After a night of distress, Kiko was rushed back to the hospital. The doctors discovered that he had developed an internal infection that had reached the bone. The only solution was to amputate his leg, a heartbreaking decision.
Despite the pain and challenges, Kiko, believed to be less than a year old, now faces life with three legs. This courageous and kind-hearted puppy will have to make many adjustments, but his spirit remains strong.
Brief write up (personality, what would be the ideal home?):
Kiko has a wonderful temperament. He is playful and affectionate with other animals, approachable, and very loving toward people. He is also remarkably obedient. Quiet by nature, he rarely barks, almost never in fact. The only time he cries is when I leave the foster home, but he settles down very quickly. Zani’s Furry Friends ZFF
