On March 12th we were contacted by Canine Action Project when they were made aware of an injured stray in one of their partner communities. She had an injured leg and no one was sure of the extent of the injury. One of CAP’s volunteers went out to the community and picked her up, she was easy to find as she was just laying on the road in obvious pain. On the evening of March 17th she arrived to a temporary foster home who took her to Orchard Veterinary Care, one of our partner clinics, where she would meet up with her foster family. The wonderful team took great care of her and were able to ascertain that Fig had a fractured radius. Thankfully, while it painful for her, it was not displaced. Meaning sweet Fig only needs to worry about going in to have her splint changed every week or 2 for the next 6-10 weeks.

Now that she has been in her foster home for the past 4 days they were able to share that ‘Fig is an absolute sweetheart and gentle soul. She is a chill girl who enjoys getting attention and loves giving hugs. She is such a good patient at the vet clinic and loves everyone she meets. ‘

Update: Fig had a secret, a really big secret, that she let us in on in the early hours of May 12th. That’s right, on the morning of Mother’s Day Fig birthed a litter of 5 sweet souls much to everyone’s surprise. She sure looks proud of herself though. Here we thought her big news this week would be that she was getting her cast removed later in the week.

Update: Fig’s babies are cleared for adoption and she will be as soon as her spay is complete!

Update: Fig has found her family and is enjoying getting to know them. We are so happy to have been a part of Fig’s journey!
