4th January


Before he lost his leg

Max

Max was another "approaching Christmas" emergency. He had suffered a shattered elbow from some kind of fall in his home at only four months old. The details of his accident, his home and the relationship between the ladies who handed him in and his home remain very vague. The ladies who contacted us had made sure he received treatment from the RSPCA but could no longer look after him and so he came to us. After a few days his injury broke down and we had to make the decision to have his leg amputated. It was a very emotional time. Recovering well from his operation we took him to the riding school christmas party. One of my daughters friends fell in love with him. They adopted him on Christmas Eve and he travelled up north with them for Christmas, instead of remaining in our overcrowded house.

He has gone on to make a full recovery and is well known around Godalming, promoting Staffie rescue wherever he goes.
