A small dog found walking up Township Road 219 East off County Road 9 was taken to the Humane Society Serving Logan County. The dog, now named Stella, had obviously been neglected for some time. Beneath the matted fur, her leg had turned black. Although in pain, the little dog remained sweet, even while being examined.
Yesterday, the veterinarian amputated Stella’s leg. She has been cleaned up and shaved and already Stella looks like a new dog. She is doing well, however, it will be a long road to recovery.
According to a post on the Humane Society Serving Logan County Facebook page:
(O)ur doctors are sure this happy heart will heal in no time!! Thanks everyone for the well wishes and prayers for our little Stella. Her body may be damaged but her spirit is amazing!!!
There is already a list of people who are interested in adopting little Stella.
If anyone knows the previous owner of this dog, please contact The Humane Society Serving Logan County, Inc. Their phone number is (937) 593-4277.
