5/29/21 Kazie, the sweetest little tripod, was adopted today. Kazie came from the shelter. Her owners sadly surrendered the 10-month-old puppy because they couldn't afford to have her leg repaired. They hoped the shelter would have someone who could help her. Kazie had been attached by a dog. It was so bad that the dog broke the bone in leg. There were bite wounds all over. One bite was so severe it was oozing. When the call came from the shelter United Yorkie Rescue was there to get Kazie within an hour.

The vet was able to repair Kazie's leg by putting a rod in it. After a month the bone healed and the rod was removed, but no matter what her foster parents did to rehabilitate that leg so Kazie would use it, she never did. A few weeks later the Kazie developed and infection in her lower leg. The vet knew there was no alternative but to amputate her leg. Dog bites are notoriously dirty, their mouth contains a lot of bacteria. Even with two rounds of antibiotics and irrigation of the wound a few times as well as treating it with antibacterial cream, the bacteria won. Her leg was full of infection.

After the amputation Kazie was the happiest little girl without that leg. Within days she was up and around and by the end of the first week she was running a little and then a lot and was the puppy she was always meant to be. She was ready for her forever home and today that happened. She has a wonderful stay at home mom and dad, a great big yard to run around in, which she loves, lots of toys, doggie beds, and even another dog to play with if she wants. They have promised Kazie to love her forever and give her the best life any pup could have. Kazie couldnt have asked for a better life. Her foster parents will miss her a lot, but they know Kazie is going to have a wonderful, happy life for the rest of her life.
