Oakley is a 7-9 month old Dachshund mix that was hit by a car on March 6th in southeast MO. He then was dumped in a field across from the Sikeston Area Humane Society.
On Thursday, March 7th, despite several fractures to his pelvic region, he managed to hobble up to a worker at the humane society. The humane society then contacted a rescue worker in that area. Oakley spent the weekend of March 9th at a vet’s office in MO.
When Placing Paws became aware of the extent of his injuries, we began making arrangements to get Oakley to Animal Emergency and Treatment Center in Grayslake, IL to see Dr. Baker. Oakley arrived at AETC on Monday March 11th. On Tues, March 12th, Dr. Baker performed surgery on Oakley.
