Alexis came to GRFR after having been shot in the left front leg.  This sweet dog was walking on shattered bone.  Wanting to give Alexis the best chance for a normal life, GRFR sent her to the vet for surgery to fix the damage done in her former life.  Things are looking up, but Alexis faces a long road of rehabilitation that starts with complete bed-rest.  She must be carried in and out for potty breaks, and can only stand to relieve herself.  Given proper post-op care, however, she is expected to make a complete recovery. 

Having lived in a breeding facility, Alexis was not spayed when she entered GRFR's foster program.  GRFR will provide that surgery as soon as medically advisable, probably about 8 weeks after the surgery on her leg.  She also came to GRFR with a tick-borne disease, Ehrlichiosis.  GRFR has treated that disease and there should not be any complications.

Providing medical care to salvage Alexis's leg was an expensive proposition.  Without the generosity of donors, GRFR would not have the funds to provide this type of medical care.  If you would like to help GRFR pay for Alexis's medical care, please donate using paypal.  You can read more about her in our Available Dogs section.
