Hunter Hit by a Car
UPDATE: Unfortunately the impact from Hunter’s accident caused irreparable damage to his eye and it was unable to be saved. He’s adjusting very well despite being a one-eyed, three-legged dog. He loves to go for walks and play in the yard! He is not available to adopt at this time.
Hunter was found staggering along side the road after being hit by a car. He was taken to Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) where a plea to help him went out to the local animal rescue network. ABC answered that plea and he was immediately taken for evaluation on his injuries. Despite our best efforts, his leg could not be saved and required amputation. He also has glaucoma in his right eye. Once again we are working with Dr. Reed and her team at Eyeshine Veterinary and we’re hopeful they can save his eye.
Hunter is a 3 year old German Shepherd mix. Despite everything this poor boy has been through, he’s the sweetest, most loving dog you’ll ever meet! We expect he’ll be ready to adopt before the end of November. Once he’s been cleared he’ll be listed on our website.
We need your help to raise $6,000 to offset the cost of Hunter’s surgery and medical care. Any size contribution can make a difference!

ABC rescues animals regardless of their medical condition. Many times an animal needs surgery or extended medical care before he or she is ready for adoption. Our Critical Care Corner will keep you updated on these special needs animals.
