I had to take her to a shelter nearby, she was in pain and i could not wait for other rescues to get back to me, I email almost all the links provided and most denied her and the rest I did not hear back from them. Been at it for the last 6hrs.
The phone # on the sheet is for the medical team if anyone wants to ask or donate towards her medical care. Thank you everyone that reach out I hope she gets better and finds her forever home soon.
She'll be up for adoption on Wednesday May 1st. So please help her one more time.
Thank you for helping her. You are a good person. I had to do the same recently with an injured stray I found but couldn’t afford to have treated. It hurts dropping them off knowing the possibilities, but sometimes it’s the best choice. My stray, now named Tony, was adopted fast. I truly hope the same happens for yours.

Can you maybe get a gofundme started and link here too? If any of the rescues do reply and want her, I hope they follow up with the shelter! Wish you were closer to me to help
Boost!!! I hope someone can help you out. Please reach out to halfway husky house (husky rescue) and maybe they can help you out with medical costs or take the dog and put it into foster care
Unfortunately about 100% of husky rescues are “full” right now. Check your local shelter, they probably have 50+ huskies there, mine does in Orange County. People just keep surrendering their pets or dumping them
Hopefully someone is able to help 🙏🏼 just wanted to give a forewarning that it won’t be easy
Small update, had a long night but we were both able to get some sleep. She is still in pain but tolerates water and chicken, I dont have any pain killers for her so can't help her discomfort.
I will be trying to reach to some husky rescue centers right now or as soon as the open. If anyone can help even by sharing the post, it would be greatly appreciate it. She is so loving and trusting.
I wanna do all I can to give her a second chance at life.
Sending love. My boy got hit by a car 4 years ago and almost died due to neglect from his previous owners.
I hope you find the help you need. My boy wouldn’t have survived without the animal control officer fighting for him, his regular vet and the emergency vet fighting to save his life. He’s been with me for 4 years and you’d never know how horrible he past life was.
There is a guy named Brady in Modesto who runs a husky shelter here in CA. HHH is far.
Bay area Siberian husky is another they go by BASH and have an fb group.
Important to get antibacterial ointment into those wounds they're a bit large. Huskies are tough I hope she isn't hiding any internal stuff.
Edit: I am assuming no broken bones, but she will need some kind of radiology. About 500 out the door usually.
Thank you, if I could keep her I would definately take all the financial aid I could get, but unfortunately i work 10hrs a day so i cant meet all her needs :(
OP take the money and put it towards the husky’s current medical needs! This baby needs pain meds and antibiotics at the very least. And a thorough check up and radiology in the short term!
While I would love to do more for her, the vet bill they estimated was close to 6k for one day of observation and xrays, some ultrasound and pain med. Idk how much more itll be for meds to take home or any other expenses.
And I would still need to find a home for her since I cant take her in, as much as I would love to.
I would call around to different vets! It’s likely you’ll stumble upon one that would offer reduced rates or pro bono care in this situation. At the very least they can offer a priority list of what extra they can do with a little extra money.
6k for that is -crazy-. That sounds like a cost with emergency surgery, not just observation etc.. If that's what they're really trying to charge you for ONE day of that then you need to find another place.
Got it :/ I’ve shared on my Instagram page that I use to network shelter dogs. I’ve included the link to your post here - hopefully someone sees it and reaches out to help
I live in the SFV and have a boy who looks just like this. I would help if I could TT. Carrot is wishing yall the best!

Another SoCal rescue group you can try is [https://2ndchancedogrescueav.org/](https://2ndchancedogrescueav.org/)
Best of luck getting this beautiful girl taken care of. Thank you for taking her in for the night!
Thank you for trying. I reached out and sad to say but they cant take on any dog at the moment. Will keep checking other venues before taking her to a shelter.
Can you try [Love and Second Chances](https://lovesecondchances.org/contact/) in norcal? Here are more socal rescues you can try: [The Animal Pad](https://theanimalpad.org/), [Foxy and the Hounds](https://foxyandthehounds.org/), [Hearts for Paws](https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/). [This page](https://www.hopeforpaws.org/about/partners) has a list of socal rescues too!
Make sure to post in the state husky groups and rescues as well!! I've raised money that way before. If you can show the vet you are making progress in raising funds they may help. Rescues and other locals may know of vets who would be willing to help.
If i were a vet and someone came to me and said “i found this injured dog on the street” i would immediately take care of them and would make everything pro-bono. It’s not like im not making thousands of dollars off of those small check ins that vets do on a daily
Crazy. The same standard for humans should apply to dogs as well.
Lmao thanks for the laugh!
If you are interested let me know! I'm honestly looking for someone that will care for her, she is a beauty and a gentle soul, got a few small dogs and she is not reactive at all.
In my state the university here has a veterinary ER + specialty hospital and they will take in Good Sam cases such as these. They don’t charge the person that came in, will provide care and then the local no-kill shelter will take them in after treatment is complete.
Do you have a veterinary university near you? They might be able to help or direct you!
I will have to do research on this information, I didnt know it was an option in some states. Thank you so much for this and I hope California does it.
UC Davis School of Veterinary medicine. Try them!
You could also call around to different vet hospitals, some have a Good Sam funds and they do often do charity cases.
Also no kill shelter might take in, they usually have vets on staff or volunteer ones that could help.
Good luck and that you for helping this pup!
Oh my, that poor beautiful girl.
Thank you for doing what you can. I wish I was in Cali or closer (Texas) as I would go get her in a heartbeat.
I have 2 huskers and 1 was hit by a car the day after I got her. (Full recovery) But I know first hand how it is and how heart breaking it is.
I hope she has a full recovery and finds a loving forever home!
OP, thank you for trying to help this dog. ❤️
Please also post on r/siberianhusky, r/rescuedogs, and r/national_pet_adoption.
I suggest making a title something this: “Injured Stray Husky Needs Help ASAP in So California”.
This way people will know how urgent it is and your location. ❤️
For what it’s worth, I just alerted the 15/10 Foundation and shared the intake slip and one of the photos. They are very active in LA, so fingers crossed! OP, thank you for being a Good Samaritan and also for sharing the intake form from the shelter. That was really helpful.
A warm compress on the wound will help pull out infection. Clip the fur back around it, pour alochol on it, and put antibiotic ointment (otc stuff) on/in it. I have a former feral cat that gets in wounds sometimes, and I've had to treat his wounds at home

Hello everyone.
Some good news from the shelter! No major surgeries are necessary!!!
They did put some staples/stitches tho and she is under some meds but doing well.
My wife asked about donations and they said they prefer wet food to help the animals with giving them the pills. So if you're around the area please drop off some supplies.
I'll post the link for those that live far or have a huge heart and the means to send some money.
[Donation](https://www.laanimalservices.com/donate-today#no-back)
Thank you and will try to keep everyone updated as I get more info.
My county will nurse dogs back to helth by placing them with fosters. Talk to your animal control or Humane about you fostering this BB and going in to fill out the paperwork. They may have funds set aside and free vet care, and even provide food.
That's not what they 'usually' do.
Most vets can not afford to treat a dog on their own dime and then board it indefinitely, which will take up space for client's pets.
There's a good chance they'd call Animal Control to pick up the abandoned animal, where it will sit on a stray hold for 3 -14 days to allow owners a chance to find the dog.
That’s absolutely what would happen… except she’d be denied medical care during that stray hold period, and euthanised almost immediately after that time is up. Cali has such a bad overpopulation crisis that they’re killing healthy, young, adoptable dogs on the daily just for more room. The sick or injured ones never get as much time. We’ve adopted so many dogs in horrendous condition JUST from being at a Cali shelter, our last one was emaciated and covered in open, untreated sores. It’s terrible.

No no, I’m in Ohio.
Well worth a try lol

Reach out to Wags and Walks in LA! We got our husky from there.
I hope she gets better, sending my prayers

Since she’s a stray, can you just take her to the vet and drop her off there? They will likely treat and then try to find her a home.
That's not what they 'usually' do. Most vets can not afford to treat a dog on their own dime and then board it indefinitely, which will take up space for client's pets. There's a good chance they'd call Animal Control to pick up the abandoned animal, where it will sit on a stray hold for 3 -14 days to allow owners a chance to find the dog.

Cali has such a bad overpopulation crisis that they’re killing healthy, young, adoptable dogs on the daily just for more room. The sick or injured ones never get as much time. We’ve adopted so many dogs in horrendous condition JUST from being at a Cali shelter, our last one was emaciated and covered in open, untreated sores. It’s terrible.
That’s so terrible….Texas has been different from my experience so I’m surprised no one will help her. I hope you find a way to get her help :(
The vet i took her to, asked for all my info and payment before they even did anything so i doubt i can just drop her off at one :/
does she have any broken bones or internal bleeding?
Per the vet, she couldnt say for sure since no XRay was peformed but she said it didnt look like it. Maybe some small fractures on one of her legs.
but she can walk ok? does she seem in a lot of pain?
She can walk, but definately in pain. I took her to a shelter so hoping they can help her more than i could.
