Another sad story of animal neglect (hopefully to soon be followed by a happy ending involving a new adoptive home):
In late February, “Tico,” a terrified ten-month-old Pomeranian, was surrendered to KHS with a badly injured rear limb that had been entangled in window blinds. A KHS veterinarian immediately administered medication since the young dog appeared to be in severe pain. After completing a medical evaluation, the staff veterinarian concluded that the injury was at least two weeks old and, due to limited blood circulation, there was irreversible immobility in that limb. Unable to save Tico’s leg, amputation was deemed necessary.
Visit the Kentucky Humane Society’s website, or call (502) 366-3355 to ask about Tico or other adoptable pets.

Hi Ashley! I love your paintings, and am so happy to tell you and your website readers that I am going to be adopting Tico from the KY Humane Society this weekend. I feel awful about everything he has been through, but he will never have to suffer again! he is going to have a wonderful home full of love and plenty of spoiling! Thanks to Judy Foster, of the rescue organization Chelsea’s Legacy here in Louisville, I learned of Tico and decided to adopt him so he can live happily ever after with me and the rest of my Pom family! My friend googled “Tico the Three-Legged Pomeranian” and found this site with Ashley’s beautiful art work, and the wonderful watercolor of Tico! Not only is Tico going to get a home, but so is his painting, LOL! I am sure I will cherish the dog and his likeness in art form! Thanks Ashley, and here’s to a happy ending!
