Scrappy’s Story: How You Helped Him Stay in the Picture

| October 30, 2024

Scrappy, a sweet 9-month-old Beagle, came to us under heartbreaking circumstances. One day, his life took a devastating turn—he was hit by a car, leaving him with severe injuries that required immediate, life-saving medical care. His family, deeply distressed, faced an unimaginable situation. Without the financial resources to afford his care, they feared they might lose their beloved pet forever. 

But because of supporters like you, his story did not end in tragedy. 

Urgent Care for a Critical Situation

The day after his accident, Scrappy was brought to Toronto Humane Society. Our team of veterinary professionals acted quickly, ensuring he was provided with the urgent care he so desperately needed. His injuries were serious—a fractured hind leg, contusions on both lungs, and fractured ribs. But because of your generosity,  he was stabilized, provided with oxygen therapy, and had the surgery to repair his leg performed a day later.

Thanks to the incredible care Scrappy received, he made it through those critical first days and began his road to recovery.

After weeks of recovery, Scrappy is able to start his next chapter.
