Meet Hero 💙
Hero is a 7-week-old puppy who came to us with a broken jaw, likely the result of trauma. When our friends at Santa Barbara County Animal Services reached out because he needed placement and veterinary care, we jumped into action. Within hours, Hero was safe, settled into a loving foster home, and receiving care from our veterinary team.
Our vet team was able to stabilize his jaw and get him comfortable while he waits to be seen by our colleagues at Santa Ynez Pet Hospital, who will determine whether surgery is needed. Despite everything, Hero is sweet, resilient, and already showing us just how strong he is.
We are hopeful for a full recovery and expect Hero to heal beautifully, though he will need follow-up care along the way. We’re also hoping to find him a forever home by the end of next week, as his foster will be traveling.
If you’re able, please consider helping Hero with his medical expenses—and if you’re interested in giving this little guy a home, we’d love to hear from you. 🐾💙
