Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue asked me to pass this story on. If you can help Lucky, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is Lucky. A good natured, happy to be here, tail waggin' kind of guy. He also has a survivor's instinct and a strong will to live. Lucky was found lying in a ditch after being hit by a car. He was transported to a holding facility where he went three weeks without medical attention while it was being determined whether he should be euthanized. Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue heard of his story and determined that he should be given every opportunity available for life. Volunteers from the NWAAR transported Lucky to a local veterinarian where he was X-rayed to determine the extent of his injuries. X-rays showed one hip severly dislocated and one hip completely shattered. X-rays also picked up buckshot which leads us to believe the car accident was not the only unfortunate incident Lucky has survived. New Hope Animal Hospital examined Lucky and after viewing his X-rays and determining the severity of his injuries could not understand how Lucky was even able to walk. The pain must have been excruciating. New Hope Animal Hospital veterinarians contacted Oklahoma State Universitry a secured Lucky an appointment to see if there was anything that could be done. Volunteers from NWAAR transported Lucky to Oklahoma State University where we recieved the good news that Lucky's injuries could be repaired. Both of Lucky's hips have now been surgically repaired and he is currently undergoing physical therapy. The prognosis is that Lucky should be able to live a normal, happy, pain free life. Upon his release from Oklahoma State the volunteers of NWAAR have committed to continuing Lucky's physical therapy and rehabilitation until he can be placed in his forever home.
