UPDATE: Our dear Winnie has found his family. It turned out to be among the volunteers for L&F Dog Rescue. He now lives and is adored in PA and has a Mommy, Daddy and a 2-legged brother Bruce and several kitties. Winnie loves all people and kitties so this was a match made in heaven. We are so happy to have our little man settled into his new life.
UPDATE: Winston goes to PT twice a week at Dr. Brad Gray's office in Chadds' Ford and he is doing wonderfully. He didn't like to work out at first and like the puppy he is, he had trouble focusing. Now he understands what he needs to do to make his leg strong again
and to heal properly --- and it is.
He is without a doubt the sweetest, darling pup we have had in the rescue for a long time. He just makes you smile at his extreme cuteness!
He loves his big foster sister Raven and he loves his (3) foster cats. They
certainly did not love him to begin with but in pure Winston style he won each every cat over and now they rub up against him because they know he is very gentle. winston is just a GREAT PUP!!

NEW UPDATE:02-24-07 - Our group celebrated our 3rd birthday today. We had two very special birthday presents. One was after 16 days in the hospital, Winston was able to come home to his new Foster Mom Maryann Bishop. He still has such a long, long way to go, but our little boy is a happy go-lucky pup who we have been advised is a chew-a-holic. Who wouldn't be bored being in the hospital all that time?
Everyone at Brandywine just ADORES this darling pup!I happen to know that he did receive preferential treatment at the hospital since every time I went to visit he was laying in the arms of someone from the staff getting a belly rub!
Winston will also star on the TV show 10! on Thursday March 1st, 2007 at 10:00 AM. If you would like to see him wiggling around being cute, tune-in.
He is a born wiggle-butt and other then the way his leg looks, you would never know what he has been through. Dr. Gray started him on his PT and he has had several underwater treadmill sessions. Winston still has many, many more to go, but my experience with our "broken
dogs" is that when they receive the type of surgery Dr. Brad Gray provides and the follow-up PT, these dogs will live to run again!
That is the best part of my job when I get to see one of our "broken dogs" run like a deer! That is only made possible because of the talent, dedication and pure PASSION Dr. Brad Gray has for making them whole again.
I will update the donations that have come in and more about Winston (sorry just coming out of a week of the flu) and list our second birthday present ASAP.
Update from Dr. Brad Gray, Brandywine Vet Hospital, Chadds Ford PA
02-09-07 - Winston is an extremely pleasant 35 pound mix breed that was presented to me last week for a repair of his right Anterior Cruciate Ligament. There were no previous films taken so I decided that it would be best to start from scratch for a diagnosis. I sedated him and felt his right knee. This revealed that his problems were more significant that first thought. He did in fact have a torn right ACL, but he also had a medically luxating patella.
These are surmountable injuries that can be repairs simultaneously. We then took radiographs of his hips and both knees. Not only did he have 10 shotgun pellets in his hind end (added to the 6 pellets in his front end and one pellet lodged in his scrotum) but he also had a fracture of his right lateral femoral condyle that went completely through his articular surface.
This made the repair very complicated. His future comfort is fully based on whether or not this fracture will heal anatomically correct fashion. The ACL and patellar luxation were repaired and carry a good prognosis. If the cartilage in his knee does not have a smooth surface, he will develop arthritis that will cause him discomfort. I placed a 32 mm screw through his femur to hold the fractured piece in place. If his articular surface does not heal well, amputation of the right hind limb may be recommended for his comfort.
I have placed him on joint supplements, pain medication and special food for joint health. He will need follow up radiographs and extensive rehabilitation in the near future.
His current bill is approximately $2,000 at a highly discounted
rate and he will need a lot of care to see that his fracture will heal properly with a possible future amputation surgery. The future
costs may be as high as $1,000 or more.
He is one of he nicest dogs that we have treated, and when you consider his difficult past, it is even more remarkable that he has such a wonderful attitude.
Warmly,
Brad Gray VMD CCRP
This is our newest young boy that came from the same area in South Carolina as our new boy Austin. We are very lucky here at Lost and Found Dog Rescue because thanks to our wonderful veterinarian, Dr. Gray of Brandywine Veterinary Hospital, he allows us to take what we call "Broken Dogs."
These are dogs who are killed in shelters due to their injuries. Shelters are forced to kill thousands of healthy dogs daily -- so they certainly can not get involved with dogs who have been hit by cars or shot.
Winston has already had surgery to repair his leg. The costs for the surgery and additional physical therapy are well over $2,000. His breaks and injuries were quite severe and it took Dr. Gray 4 hours to make the repairs! We're sure he will make a complete
recovery and be good as new thanks to Dr. Gray.
Dr. Gray said that he had also been shot in his back and rear (and in his very private parts) & he lost count after counting 10 pellets in his back end. It is as if someone used him for target practice.
Winston did test positive for Heartworm and when they did an x-ray, they found another 6 pellets of buckshot in his chest from being shot. He has been treated for the Heartworm which was a mild case due to his youth.
Winston is young, approximately 1 year old German Shepherd mix on the small to medium size. As you can see, he has already been through much trauma in his young life. Winston comes to us from a rural, high-kill shelter in South Carolina. He was the shelter favorite and the shelter staff begged rescuers to find him a home. No wonder, Winston is the sweetest, friendliest little guy. Everyone who has met Winston falls in love with him. Winston loves people and loves to cuddle. He has German Shepherd markings, with soft ears and the cutest face that resembles a Teddy-bear. Winston is up-to-date with shots has neutered.
Our wish for Winston's (as with every L&F dog) is to find him a family of his own to love and love him.
We could use your help by sponsoring Winston or Austin or our new girl coming in Sheila. Lost and Found Dog Rescue provides a caring and a nurturing environment until we adopt each individual dog. However, the same way it costs money to care for a healthy dog, it also costs money to provide constant and continual care, especially for a special needs dog like Winston, Austin and Sheila.
By sponsoring a dog, you can help to alleviate this cost and allow this rescue to save the dogs we do.
Sponsoring a dog may take the form as a weekly or monthly donation, or you can make a one-time donation on our secure website where we take VISA/MasterCard and PayPal. It's your choice!
Payments may also made directly with Visa/MasterCard, AMEX at Brandywine Vet Hospital in Winston's name.
The number for Brandywine Vet number is: #610-459-0500.
Please inform Lost and Found Dog Rescue if you make a direct payment to Brandywine Vet so we can provide you a tax receipt for this donation as soon as possible.

We do not adopt our puppies under 6 months to people who work full-time. Part-time or work from home is OK. We do not believe in leaving infants in crates all day.

This can be through a family member, neighbor, or Petsitting service.
