Rescuers raise cash for 3-pawed puppy found in northern Manitoba

A Winnipeg pet rescue group is trying to raise money to amputate a puppy's leg after finding it with only three paws this fall.

Solo, a four-month-old shepherd-cross, was found in a northern Manitoba community.

Rescuers with Manitoba Underdogs Rescue believe Solo got herpaw stuck in something, and her mother may have chewed it off to set her free.

The puppywas found with a badly infected stump, but rescuers have since treated her.

She remains severely anemic and requires surgery to amputate the rest of her leg, but the rescue needs help raising the $1,500 for the operation.

They're asking the public to help with donations, whichcan be made at Southglen Veterinary Hospital or at the Manitoba Underdogs website at www.manitobaunderdogs.org/donate.
