Buba

"On Saturday, May 14th, just around midnight, this pup’s life was left in the hands of one of CUDDLY’s team members after coming across her bloodied, lifeless body lying in the middle of a freeway offramp. 

The CUDDLY team member, who was heavily pregnant at the time, was just trying to get home when she saw cars zooming past what looked to be two dogs stranded in the middle of the ramp. What's worse is that not one vehicle stopped. No one even touched their breaks but right then, her instincts kicked in. She pulled over, got out, and was met with the heaviest, most pleading sets of eyes she'd ever seen. The first dog, a male Shepherd, seemed physically okay but the second, a female Boxer, was far from it. Blood surrounded the asphalt around her and poured out from her front leg, where the bone was exposed. The poor girl must have been run down just moments before and the shepherd, her one and only friend, refused to leave her side after, likely realizing that she was too mangled to stand..."

It was a long night for Buba, her best friend, and the rescuers who brought them to safety. They rushed around to try and find help, calling rescues all around the area and we happened to be on that list.

Buba was moments away from losing her life to the injury she had sustained when the vehicle came crashing into her body. There was so much blood, and you could see the life draining out of her as they waited for help. There was a very real fear that the injury went beyond just her leg, but possible neurological damage as well.. We brought her to the vet and waited...

We are extremely thankful and happy to report that Buba is thriving. Not only did the surgery to repair her leg go extremely well, but she was also able to keep her entire leg! She went to her amazing foster parents' house to recover and they reported back that they were just falling in love with her sweet temperament. She was healing quickly, her personality was beginning to show more and more and she learned to trust her Foster family.

This story couldn't end any better. Once she was fully healed and vetted, we opened her up for adoption and we are SO happy to report that she has found her forever home! She is being loved and treasured the way that she should have been her entire life, the way she deserves!

We cannot begin to thank our generous donors enough for the support you showed for her and her journey. We also want to give a HUGE shout-out to CUDDLY for being the ones to save this girl's life, and allowing us to get her story out there. Cheers, to Buba's happily ever after!
