Darling 5-month-old Sophie takes her first steps, after only 1 week of physical therapy to overcome her spinal injury.
Sophie was abandoned at a local high-kill animal shelter and slated for immediate euthanasia because she couldn't walk. Westside German Shepherd Rescue saved her not a minute too soon. Our vets discovered a mass on her spine in the neck area. She has been undergoing physical therapy to build her strength and coordination, and may also have surgery to remove the mass, if needed, depending on the prognosis.
We are so encouraged and excited to see her rapid progress, because prior to this, she wasn't able to even support her weight at all. We are hopeful that she will eventually regain the use of all 4 legs and run and play the way any puppy should. Please help us continue to give Sophie the love and support she needs to make a full recovery.
