Pogo came to us from a shelter in SW VA. He had experienced the unfortunate situation of having his rear leg caught in a snare-type trap and attempted to self amputate. Big yikes! Due to the municipal shelters being underfunded and understaffed, he was at risk for euthanasia due to his injuries. A small shelter in a smaller town doesn’t have big funds for a big surgery or the ability to perform this kind of care in-house. With the combined efforts of the shelter Pogo came from, the Fredericksburg SPCA, and the Fred SPCA Locke Community Medical Center – Pogo had a chance to rewrite his story!
