The BC SPCA’s Victoria branch is asking for help with medical costs after a three-month-old puppy was hit by a car.
The puppy, called Maize, has had surgery to mend four broken bones in her pelvis and hips plus wound care for the abrasions on her skin caused by road rash.
“Maize is a sweet puppy who can recover from this terrible accident,” SPCA Victoria branch manager Annie Prittie-Bell said in a statement. “We deeply appreciate support from the public to help provide the medical care Maize needs to get back on her paws.”
The SPCA says Maize will need about three months to recover from her surgery with costs of care, including physiotherapy, spay and vaccinations expected to reach $8,430.
To donate to help Maize and other animals in need at the Victoria SPCA, visit spca.bc.ca/medicalemergency or visit the branch at 3150 Napier Lane, Victoria, 250.388.7722.
