A young puppy was hit by a car and left immobile in the snow for 12 long hours. The accident occurred in a frigid northern community of Alberta, Canada, causing the puppy to suffer a broken pelvis. The poor creature had slim chances of survival, but luckily, some sympathetic teenagers spotted her and reported it to AB Task Force, who contacted Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS). According to AARCS, “She spent over 12 hours lying there alone and cold before rescuers found and rushed her to SAVEvet.” Interestingly, the snow around her had melted due to her body heat. The rescuers named the puppy Nutmeg, and she was ecstatic to see them when they arrived. She is now on the road to recovery from her injury but must rest in a crate for six weeks. AARCS has promised lots of treats, kisses, and back scratches for Nutmeg during this time.

The pup is still wagging her tail with joy, showing how happy she is. After she fully recovers, she will be up for adoption. In the province of Alberta, there are numerous cats and dogs that are without homes, have been abandoned, or even worse, mistreated. The Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society collaborates closely with rural and First Nations communities where animal services may be scarce or non-existent. In the year 2015 alone, AARCS took in more than two thousand cats and dogs who received medical attention, spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and were then placed with their forever families.
