Little dog with broken front legs walks upright.
Karma was a stray who was found "walking" the streets--literally! He had suffered two broken front legs from an injury estimated to be almost a year old and compensated by walking on his hind legs. He also had heartworms. No one knows how he survived. He was picked up by Animal Services who contacted Canine Castaways Rescue. Karma was adopted by a loving family and has completed his heartworm treatment and is now scheduled to have surgery to repair his legs. We are hoping for a successful recovery and a happy ending:)

  • About 4 months. He recovered in a Doggie Dorm which he LOVED and still does to this day. I don't know what I would have done without it. Now he helps me sell them on HSN and appears with me regularly. Go to HSN.com and put Doggie Dorm in the search and you can see a video of him. He is such a charismatic and sweet little boy:-)

  • how long did it take from surgery for him to be fully healed ?

  • @greenrolaids

    About 4-6 weeks for each surgery but he had the first two at the same time.

  • @Pets4Peace

    After i posted that, nearly 2 months ago.. my 10 month old broke both of his front legs jumping from a deck.

    He's at about %85 right now. Just have to get those muscles back in shape.

    hows your guy doing?

  • @greenrolaids

    Oh that's awful! You should try keeping him in one of the Doggie Dorms when you need to try to keep him calm. Karma loved being in it.

    Karma is great now although he recently bent one of the plates in his right leg from playing rough with some of his "sisters". He could possibly need another operation but I am hoping this isn't the case. He is such a happy little guy he forgets he is fragile event though he has so much hardware in his legs.

    Did your pup need surgery?

  • Karma has had four surgeries total and has completed his treatment. He is doing FABULOUS! In fact, he's doing so well and running around so much, we have to work at trying to get him to take it easy. He is one happy little dude. I will try to post a follow up video soon to show his wonderful progress.

    he needed sugery, he got out of his casts 3 weeks ago and is doing great.

    my guy jumped on the couch the day i brought him home, he fell off, but luckly he did not mess things up too much.

  • Very touching, I am so glad to see he has a home and family who love him. I also have two pom's who are having back leg problems due to poor breeding and surgery after surgery they will have a much of a normal life I can give them. They are our babies and they deserve the love back they give us. UNCONDITIONAL!

  • So where is the update video for Karma? What a darling, tough, little guy. I fervently hope he is all better and living the high life.

  • That Dogs Has 4LEGS But Its Cute
