Two badly broken bones, but no one called the vet. Boss was in agony.

Can you imagine how much pain Boss was in? His owner – who claimed he’d fallen from a second-floor balcony – didn’t even call the vet when Boss had a broken front leg and femur. 

Boss couldn’t stand. He couldn’t eat, drink or go to the toilet for two agonising days.

Gifts from generous people like you enabled us to rescue Boss and bring him to safety. But that was only the start of our work to save this three-year-old Staffy cross.

Would sweet, gentle Boss ever be able to stand, run, walk and play again? It would mean costly surgery and months of rehabilitation and recovery. 

Boss was in the Intensive Care Unit for two weeks. His front leg went into a splint. He had surgery to fix a plate onto his femur. He then recovered in the shelter and, for three months, with an experienced foster carer.

It was a long road, but today, Boss is living his best life with his owner, Nicola. He’s a loving dog who enjoys lots of affection, as well as runs on the beach and playing ‘fetch’.

We mustn’t ever let cruelty win. Please help save another animal like Boss, and help give them the happy, active life they deserve.
