VIDEO: Help Abandoned Puppy Get a New Paw
Cher the Pup, currently at the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, needs a new prosthetic foot.
SALEM, MA - Sonny and Cher – as they were later named – are two puppies who were abandoned near a dumpster along a rural Georgia road.
Cher was stumbling because she was missing her right front paw. Both dogs were scared, cold, and starving until one of the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem's rescue partners showed up to help.
Sonny has already been adopted, but the shelter doesn't want to leave Cher hobbling about trying to walk on a foot that isn’t there. The Northeast Animal Shelter has had her looked at by a human prosthetic specialist, who says she can make a prosthetic paw for Cher.
