NOTES FROM MHC: MJ's Story

NOTES FROM THE ADOPTION CENTER is a blog series where we will be sharing some of our rescue stories and our day-to-day challenges & successes at the Midland Humane Coalition Adoption Center(inside PetSmart) and The Joe and Van Mabee Animal Rescue Center (our new rescue facility). 
​

When rescues arrive at MHC, we never know what to expect. Sometimes they are fit as a fiddle and ready for a new home.  But more often than not, they need proper care, treatment and space to recover before they can be placed in their forever homes. 

This is MJ.  When she arrived at MHC, she appeared to have just been in an accident with a  road rash and a fractured pelvis. She also had UTI. 

We got her immediate help the day we got her. We took her to see our vet at Town & Country Veterinary Hospital who said that her fracture may be able to heal well on its own because she is, fortunately, still so young. 

We will have her re-examined at the end of the month. If her fracture on her pelvis isn’t healing right, they will have to do a surgery that will help promote healing. 

In the mean time, we are ensuring that MJ is in good hands and extremely comfortable while she recovers in foster care. 

Stay tuned for updates on MJ!
