Meet Tyler, a Pomeranian mix who is about 4-5 years of age. On August 1, 2023, Tyler's owners surrendered him to a shelter, saying that he was healthy and only needed a good grooming. We happily took him in from the shelter! When he arrived at rescue, he had a huge gash in his back that was badly infected.

We also noticed that Tyler walked on only three legs, dragging his right hind leg behind him. The leg bone was most likely broken some time ago and did not heal correctly. Despite his major ailments, Tyler was such a happy boy with a sweet demeanor. We immediately took him in for veterinary evaluation.

Tyler's open wound was stitched up and he was given antibiotics. Unfortunately, he required a leg amputation, which was performed right away.

We were amazed by Tyler's spirit and resilience. He began walking just two days after surgery and was running in no time. The gash in his back healed beautifully.

Crossing Paths staff members describe Tyler as as happy and fiercely loyal. Now that he has fully recovered, Tyler is ready to find his forever home.
