Della, a young female German Shepherd , was brought to the shelter after she was hit by a car and then surrendered to local sheriffs. She had somewhat extensive leg injuries. Following a full evaluation, it was determined that she indeed had a broken leg. The leg was repaired in surgery with plates and screws and an extensive rest period was needed to allow for the best possible long-term result. The shelter staff and volunteers stepped up and cared for her as needed. A second surgery was later needed to remove the plate that had begun to move as Della became more mobile. The result was a completely successful repair. Della then found her forever home shortly after the second recovery. Friends of the Saratoga County Animal Shelter saved the day for this beautiful girl.
Della, All put back together
