Liberty and Glory's Happy Tail<br />
Liberty, a 4-month-old puppy, and her mom Glory<br />
were surrendered to Peggy Adams in September. The<br />
owner reported that Liberty was born without paws<br />
but that she was able to get around without an issue.<br />
Neither dog had been to a veterinarian in the past.<br />
Liberty's x-ray<br />
We performed x-rays and found that Liberty has<br />
underdeveloped or missing bones in her front legs and<br />
no wrists or front feet. She walks around sometimes as<br />
a human does, on her two back legs. Other times, she<br />
will put some weight on what front legs she does have.<br />
Fortunately, Liberty is only 3½ pounds so it’s not too<br />
much weight for her to put on her nubs!<br />
Upon a physical exam, our veterinarians did not<br />
find any other abnormalities with Liberty, just the<br />
underdevelopment of her front legs. Once both dogs<br />
received a clean bill of health, they were ready to<br />
be placed up for adoption. Liberty and Glory were<br />
extremely bonded, our goal was to find a forever<br />
home where they could live together. Liberty and<br />
Glory were adopted into their perfect new home on<br />
September 11, <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
“It was during my volunteer shift at the shelter when<br />
Liberty and Glory were surrendered. When someone<br />
mentioned to me to go check them out, I fell in love<br />
immediately. I spent time with them and took pictures<br />
and video. When I came out of their kennel, a staff<br />
member saw me and said, ‘I can see it in your eyes<br />
you want them’. I said “yes” and put in my request<br />
to adopt!”<br />
“This was out of my league, as I usually rescue the<br />
senior dogs who are overlooked because of their age<br />
and/or medical condition.”<br />
“I received a text on Friday letting me know that I<br />
could pick them up on Saturday, which was 9/11.<br />
And that is how I came up with their new names,<br />
Liberty and Glory.”<br />
“They both are so lovable and always giving kisses and<br />
soaking up the love! They love their belly rubs! They<br />
are inseparable. I bought a puppy sling for Liberty so<br />
she too can go out when Glory takes a walk. When<br />
Liberty is full grown, she’ll get her own set of hot<br />
wheels! Then Liberty and Glory will be able to ‘walk<br />
and roll!!!’ ” – Judy<br />
