After being claimed by the  German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County (GSROC) on Christmas Eve, Teddy was taken to the Veterinary Surgical Specialists in Tustin, where Dr. Peter Sebestyen repaired Teddy's injuries:a broken upper leg and multiple bit woulds and punctures.

With the help of pins and an external splint, Teddy's is doing well and seems unphased by the metal apparatus on his leg, according to Maria Dales, from the GSROC.

Teddy has to wear his special armor for 2 more weeks before the removal of his pins and his *neutering surgery and he is still looking for his forever family.

To help pay for Teddy’s medical bills, contributions can be sent to German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County at 177F Riverside Avenue, Newport Beach, CA 92663 or via the group’s website at www.gsroc.org.
