3/18/16 On New Year's Eve Pepper was found wandering the streets and was picked up by Animal Control. It was not the best place to be on New Years, but at least she was off the streets, being fed, and was warm and safe. They could see she was having a great deal of trouble waking. It was discovered that she had a shattered hip and two broken legs. Once UYR rescued her she promptly saw the orthopedic surgeon. It was determined that Pepper's injuries were months old, and she was not a candidate for corrective surgery. Because medical intervention was not given at the time of injury, the bones did not heal correctly, which has resulted in Pepper having a significant limp. The vet told her foster parents that when this accident occured she must have been in terrible pain. Poor Pepper. But at least she is no longer in pain and the gimpy limp has not slowed pretty Pepper down by any means. Although she is not one to run around she does love being outdoors and roaming free in the fenced backyard. Her foster parents knew that Pepper needed a home where she would be loved and accepted exactly as she is. Today Pepper found that perfect forever home with her perfect forever mom. When Pepper went to meet her new mom and get adopted there were balloons on the mailbox and new doggie toys and beds inside just waiting to welcome Pepper. It was like Christmas and her birthday all rolled into one wonderful day. Pepper has everything she will ever need or want. A wonderful home, a fenced yard for sunning and roaming, lots and lots of toys and doggie beds, and the best forever mom anyone could want. Never again will she be on the streets alone. She has a home now and it's forever.
