PHOENIX — A 1-year-old puppy who was struck by a car in rural Arizona is on the road to recovery and adoption.
Crash, as his rescuers named him, suffered a broken leg in two places, an X-ray revealed a metal BB pellet lodged in a paw, and his stomach and intestines were filled with sand, dirt and rocks as a result of the incident.
The driver in the accident called police, who took Crash to one of the Arizona Animal Welfare League’s rural partners as they were leaving for a weekly transport trip.
Because of the timing, Crash was able to receive quick treatment and have his life saved at the Animal Medical Surgical Center in Scottsdale.
