Meet Shorty 💛
On Friday night, we received a call that this sweet, deeply loved girl needed emergency surgery to save her life. Shorty was suffering from a pyometra—an infected uterus—a serious but common condition in unspayed female dogs.
Thanks to the incredible team at Noah's Ark Animal Hospital & Bird Clinic , Shorty was stabilized overnight, giving her the strongest possible chance going into emergency surgery.
Her family shared this about their beloved girl:
“Shorty has been part of our family for over 12 years. She was our very first dog and the start of our little pack of three. She’s independent, gentle, and happiest just relaxing, being petted, or soaking in the world around her. She loves walks, sitting with us during movies, and simply being close. She’s not wild—she’s a people dog who just wants to be loved.”
Shorty is more than a pet—she’s family. And she’s exactly why we do what we do. 🐾💛
