A young dog found with a broken leg was rescued and is on the mend thanks to a kind stranger, vet and rescue group.

Charlie came to the Okanagan Humane Society (OHS) last Thursday via a brave rescuer in Vernon.

sa国际传媒淪he noticed that Charlie was in pain, holding up his paw, and crying, and he needed medical attention immediately,sa国际传媒� OHS said.

After trying with no luck to take him to the SPCA shelter in Vernon (which is now closed permanently), she desperately called around for help, and thankfully was able to reach OHS.

Charlie is estimated to be only five months old and is sweet, friendly, and otherwise in good health.

He is now in the care of a foster, and will spend the next several weeks healing until he is ready to find his forever home.

The veterinary costs associated with Charliesa国际传媒檚 injury so far have totalled $3,100, plus additional vet visits and vet costs as he recovers.

OHS is a volunteer run, foster based animal rescue.
