Jadea going for a romp on the beach
Most of you probably will not remember Jadea - she came to PAWS several years ago - a broken dog.
Jadea was found on the side of the expressway, starving, lifeless and completely broken. No one knows how long she laid out there on the side of the road suffering and starving. Jadea was emaciated beyond belief, she heartworm positive, infested with intestinal parasites, she had rips in both her ears, scars and cuts all over and to top it off she had a crushed pelvis and broken femur. Treatment had to wait on her broken bones for over a week because she was too unstable to operate on. Her surgeries had to be split up because there was so much damage. Both hips had to be repaired and have screws placed to secure both. She also had to have her femur plated to hold it together.
She had a long and painful recovery - but at the end of it all, she found her way to a wonderful home in Maine!
As you can see from these pictures, Jadea has since had one of her legs amputated and uses a wheelchair to help her run and play. Obviously, these challenges have not negatively impacted her quality of life at all!
The pictures make all of the pain and recovery time worthwhile. Jadea is a survivor and never lets her injuries or past mistreatment hold her back from enjoying life. We all can learn a lesson in life from this sweet girl.
We are so thankful that Jadea has found an incredible family that loves her for her beautiful soul and gentle demeanor.
Happy trails Jadea!
