We are absolutely delighted to wish this beautiful girl a “Happy Adoption Day”!
Charlottte (formerly known as Charlie), a beautiful 3 yr old Shepherd mix ended up at the local humane society when it was determined she needed major orthopedic surgery to to correct a problem affecting both hind legs. She had severe luxating patella – which means her knee caps wouldn’t stay in place – in fact they were permanently out of place – making it difficult for Charlie to get around. Dr Palmer performed corrective surgery on each knee (at separate times) and we are happy to report she is doing much better now.
She has spent many months at the shelter while being diagnosed, and then recovering from the two major surgeries. During that period, ‘Charlie’ visited SSMAnimalClinic many times and we were always so impressed with her sweet temperament and happy ‘can do’ attitude.
