Description:
Oh my goodness, Luke, you handsome fella you! Luke was urgent at SBC due to limping and a broken jaw. Thanks to Redlands Friends of Shelter Animals partnering with us, and Hope for Paws Rescue sponsoring his medical, we were able to get him out of there and into surgery right away! Luke’s ortho specialist determined the limping was from an older soft tissue or nerve injury in his shoulder, and after physical therapy to build back muscle, he is doing great! He had a Mandibulectomy (removal of part of the jaw bone) and had a separated symphysis wired back together. As you can see, he healed beautifully! He is guesstimated to be about 3-4 years old, but he acts like a big, goofy puppy. He wants to play all day, and then get some good cuddles in. He is the perfect family dog — friendly, energetic, and so happy. He looks like a Lab/Shepherd — such a beauty! He also seems like be a water dog, as evidenced by the fun he has with his water bowl.
