Got us in on short notice. Friendly staff and great with our 4-legged family member.
??WARNING!!! GRAPHIC PHOTOS!!!??
This morning on my way to work, just past Smith Lake, I witnessed a small truck hit this puppy that was trying to get out of the road. The truck never slowed down or swerved to avoid the puppy. The puppy spun and rolled infront of my car, and I put my hazards on and pulled over. I tried to calm down and collect myself from what I just saw. I then looked over at the poor puppy and to my surprise, it had it?s head up and still breathing.
I immediately jumped out, put the puppy in my car, and started calling people as to where I could go. My only option that wasn?t too out of the way was to continue to Decatur. The puppy?s eyes were twitching and it had blood coming from it?s mouth. I was so afraid it would die from head trauma before we reached Decatur.
Over our drive, it?s breathing slowed down, eyes slowly stopped twitching, and it even began moving around in the seat! I started gaining hope that it would pull through! Thanks to Decatur Animal Care, they told me that if the puppy survived the trip and was brought to them, they have adoption funds that would go towards saving this puppy?s life. And once the puppy pulls through, they will put it up for adoption!
Please be a decent human being and TRY to avoid animals on the road! I know sometimes it is inevitable. Deer will always jump out, squirrels are always indecisive, and birds will fly into windshields from above. But a puppy that is scared and trying to get out of the road deserves a chance.
***UPDATE***
My mother called Decatur Animal Care to check on the puppy and this is what she said:
?I called and checked on the puppy?they have him on an IV drip, eyes aren?t twitching anymore, she said he?s not showing any signs of any head trauma (THANK GOD!!), he?s sitting and they?re just gonna keep a close eye on him!! ?
This is a joke.
