Neighbors were shocked to find their local street dog hiding in pain.

When our rescue team arrived he growled and threatened to bite. Looking back, we now know the reason was only his tremendous pain and fear. Those growls were soon replaced by the most patient, trusting smiles. Joey had no fractures or wounds, but to walk again, he would need 4 weeks of bedrest. For a young dog especially, this confinement is really tough. But loving visits and plenty going on around him helped, and now? Meet Joey today–better than ever.
