Stubby

Lately, you may have seen some pictures of a dog named Stubby. He is the pet of the week this week, and was on the front page of the Durango Herald on Sunday. He is getting lots of face time, and I'm here to give him some more.
 Stubby is a Lab mix around 4 years old, who came to us from the Cortez animal shelter the day after Christmas. He had been surrendered their along with his buddy Stella. The two of them were here together until last week when Stella was adopted. Stubby is doing ok with out her, but we need to find him a permanent home. In the mean time, he continues going to schools and helping the kids learn to read. The kids are doing something in return for all of his hard work.
You see, Stubby came to us with an old leg injury, that included a non-surgical amputation. The injury is one that cant be fixed by surgery. What can help is a prosthetic leg, and that's where the kids came in. Some of his biggest fans at Miller and Mtn Middle schools, and Sunnyside elementary school raised some funds to help pay for a prosthetic leg for Stubby. They were able to raise just over half of the $840 dollars needed for Stubby's new leg. Great job guys.

We have ordered the prosthetic for Stubby, and it is in the process of being made. If you would like to help us pay for the remainder of the cost, and help to offset some of the costs the shelter has already incurred ( x-rays etc..), please follow the link below.


Thanks for helping Stubby, and for your continued support of the homeless animals of the Four Corners.
