Meet Katy

Katy is a female dog urgently in need of a rescue, foster, or adopter who can provide continued medical care and support. Katy has a dislocated hip (coxofemoral luxation) and requires a femoral head ostectomy (FHO), a surgical procedure to remove the femoral head and relieve pain associated with the damaged hip joint. Katy will require orthopedic surgery, pain management, post-operative care, and rehabilitation to help restore her comfort and mobility. This level of specialized veterinary care exceeds what we can provide in the shelter environment. Katy is at risk for euthanasia due to her orthopedic injury and need for surgical intervention and continued veterinary care beyond what we can provide in the shelter. If you are interested in helping Katy, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov with your contact information so we can call you back.
