Brodie

Right after her surgery

Brodie was found wandering the streets of Dulce, NM which is known for roaming gangs of  dogs. She was on death row at the shelter in Dulce when Chama Valley Humane Society picked her up with a few other puppies. They noticed right away that Brodie wasn't putting any weight on her front left paw and kept it bent up so CVHS was worried about a break. A vet confirmed and surgery was required. On July 2nd, 2013 her break was set and a couple of pins were put in just above had her elbow to hold it in place.  Brodie had a wrap on for three weeks and was checked weekly to make sure she was healing. At her final appointment the vet said that she will probably never have 100%

strength or use of that leg. She can put a little weight on it now and gets along very well on the other three.

Week 3

Konnie Andrews from CVHS said that when they took her wrap she was so happy she danced, rolled around and somersaulted down the hill. She was ready to play!

No one knows how Brodie was hurt, it's speculated that she was attacked and thrown by one of the gangs of dogs. What
we do know that her survival was due to her sheer will and determination. Our girl is sassy, very smart and can sometimes play too rough for other dogs or small children. She likes to snarl and bite when she plays - something we're working on- but she

learns quickly. She already knows "sit" and is working on her house training. She's GREAT in a crate. She will need some formal training but is overall a loving, playful addition to to a semi-active family.
