HARTWICK SEMINARY – “A Thanksgiving Miracle” arrived at the Susquehanna Animal Shelter a few minutes ago.
That’s how Zoe, 9, the German shepherd who was found with a front leg chewed off in Exeter Center last week, was described by SQSPCA Executive Director Stacie Haynes as the two arrived back from the Cornell University Hospital for Animals shortly before 6 p.m.
“She’s so nice,” said Haynes. “It’s like incredible.”
At the hospital in Ithaca earlier today, veterinarians told Haynes that Zoe’s condition was “risky.” A CT scan had shown the fatty mass in the dog’s left shoulder was so close to key arteries an operation might kill her.
“We might lose her,” the doctor told Haynes.
