CASE – A1065038
Safe - 2-18-2016 Brooklyn
*SAFE* 02/18/16 Case came to the Care Center as a stray. His front paw had a hair tie wrapped around it- he will probably need a front leg amputation. Case also has a small healing wound on the back of his neck. Despite his injuries he is still bright and curious of his surroundings. Case needs local veterinary placement as soon as possible.
