Caddy's Story

caddyheadCaddy, a gentle 3-1/2 year old boy, suffered an injury to his right rear leg during a race in Jacksonville, Florida.  His injury was never treated until he came to GPA Northwest.

Caddy first underwent extensive surgery to try to save his leg.  Unfortunately, the bone was too damaged and had started to deteriorate.  They had no other option but to amputate the leg.  So, on Nov. 19th Caddy had his hind leg removed.caddypost

Then early in April, an amazing family fell head-over-heals in love with Caddy and decided to take him into their home and into their hearts where he will remain forever.
 
Currently, Caddy is adjusting to his new life quite nicely.  His new family built him a special ramp so he has easier access to the back yard from the deck.  There you can see Caddy playing and romping like any four-legged dog.

He has settled into his new routine at record speed.  Caddy now knows when it's time for the girls to arrive home from school because then he knows he will get a walk to the park.  He is spoiled with love, devotion and a safe place for him to spend the rest of his years.
