MEMPHIS

Memphis came to us in March 2010 as a 12-week-old Great Dane puppy that had been attacked by multiple dogs in the house hours before entry. He presented lateral (was on his side) and in shock. He had severe trauma to all limbs with punctures to his face and ears. He was admitted to the hospital and was in Intensive Care for days. In t...he first 2 days of care, he received a blood transfusion and suffered from ARDS (Acute Respiratory Syndrome) which he battled through. Memphis was with us in the hospital for one month and received daily wound care and multiple surgeries during that time. Memphis is an AMAZING pet who had the drive to live. He is a fighter and a survivor! It was bittersweet to see him go home with his family, as we had all grown to love him as if he were our own. Memphis is now a 130-pound, 1-year-old giant puppy with a heart of gold, and we cherish every time we get to see him run up and down our halls with his squeaky toy in tow!
