But even in his broken state, he never lost the warmth in his heart.

He leaned into gentle touches and sought the company of other dogs, proving that his spirit was unbreakable.
A Fight for Survival
Rushed to the vet in critical condition, Spencer’s future hung in the balance. The medical team faced a daunting challenge: could they realign his spine through surgery, or was the damage too severe?
After careful deliberation, they decided to give him a chance. The surgery was long and complicated, but it was a success.
