Humane Society of Nelson County: Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

Medications and supplies, specifically bandage material and antibiotics for a dog with a fracture.

It allowed us to do regular bandage changes on the injured leg. Bandage material is costly.

How many pets did this grant help?

One immediately, but there are leftover supplies for others when needed.

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

This dog, Rooster, is a 9-month-old great Pyrenees who was relinquished because the owner could not afford medical care. X-rays revealed a midshaft fracture of the radius and ulna of the left front leg. The leg was maintained in a splint, but the bandages had to be changed often for cleanliness and growth of the dog. He has not been adopted yet as the leg has not quite healed.
