Daytona Update

We wanted to take a moment and give everyone an update on how Daytona is progressing after her surgeries.  All things considered, she is doing wonderfully.  She is moving around great on three legs and playing like any other puppy.  She is also loving all the attention and visitors.  Most importantly, there doesn't seem to be any psychological effects from her trauma.

Most of you already know, but for those of you who don't, Daytona was found after someone saw another person kicking her and called the police.  She had multiple broken bones (both recent and already healing incorrectly). Both back legs were broken - one bad enough that it had to be amputated.  She also had multiple, painful rib fractures.

We can't express how humbled we are by the outpouring of support for this little girl. We are so proud to be from this community and truly appreciate the generosity of everyone.  The staff has been wonderful in volunteering time and energy to care for Daytona 24/7.  Aspen Ridge has received many donations to the Giving Paws Fund from people in the community, which have covered the costs of her surgeries.  And thanks to the White Mountain Independent we have had people call and contribute from as far away as Florida and Alaska.

Again...thank you all for your support, kindness and involvement.
