19/1/11This 8 week old German Shepherd pup was abandoned and taken into the pound. He has a deformity in his back leg and due to the information we now have we have no doubts that he was dumped. There's no excuses, there are plenty of vets and rescue organisations in the area ....
He will be visiting our vets tomorrow.

"Teddy" (don't blame me for the name!!) has a fused patella, there is no movement at all in the joint. Our vet thinks the pup may well cope with his three and a quarter legs and unless he starts knuckling or showing pain there is no need to consider amputation. Teddy is a little man who has a big attitude and thank the lord he is no way phased by his ordeal. I think he'll need a home where he is considered as a GSD pup and not a disabled pup!!!
