Male Dog, Anatolian Shepherd
Anatolian Shepherd / Mixed (Long Coat)
Description:
Smokey and Bandit were found in Falls County Texas roaming stray. A kind citizen took them into her care and realized Smokey had a severely injured foot. Despite her best efforts to heal his injuries, the infection continued to spread. She reached out to LHS for assistance finding forever homes for both of the boys and assisting with Smokey's leg. Upon vet exam it was confirmed that the infection was too far gone and the only chance he had at survival was to amputate the infected leg. His amputation is scheduled for 4/02/2025. This life saving surgery will allow Smokey to go on and live a long happy life. Dogs with 3 legs get around great and are very adaptive to the change. His recovery will just include rest and encouraging walking. Dogs recovery from amputations relatively quickly and they are able to walk on their own on day one post operation. Smokey has a wonderful temperaments. He is very smart and eager to please. The gentle Anatolian temperament makes him a wonderful family dog. He gets along well with dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have yet to see him around cats but we can cat test if needed. He is crate trained and housebroken. He has been neutered, brought current on vaccinations and microchipped. He is heartworm negative and current on heartworm prevention.
