The story of Joey

Joey is one of the many dogs which were abandoned just in front of the fence of an animal shelter.

What makes the story of Joey something worse is that when he was seen by the helpers in the morning when they came to the shelter, the helpers noticed immediately that he was limping and the lower part of his right hind leg was hanging down.

The immediate visit to the vet revealed that the leg is broken and he must be operated as soon as possible. The animal abandonment outside the shelters is bad enough, but with broken body parts makes it worse.

We assume that he was before the helpers came, he was placed there only a short time or he just felt that he gets helped there and has remained there. We don´t know.

We don´t want to imagine what would have happened to Joey, if he had gone outside of the gate.

Joey  was operated on immediately and now the leg needs time to heal.

Joey has a lovely character. He is playful, nice to us and very addictive to our proximity. He has no problems with other dogs, quite the contrary, he enjoys every society.

Because of his leg he can´t play with the other dogs yet. This makes Joey very sad.

Joey is now looking for a loving home. Someone who wants to take him despite his small handicap.
