Artist: Laura White

Dimensions: 12" x 12"
Animal Depicted: Prairie
Prairie was transported to Stray Rescue three days after being hit by a car on a busy St. Louis highway. Good Samaritans saw it, jumped out of their car, and helped her. She was in so much pain, they had a hard time getting her in their car, but those heroes weren't going to leave her. They fundraised like crazy and got her into an emergency clinic for the weekend. The emergency clinic determined she had not one, not two, but THREE broken legs. She also had pulmonary contusions, which is fluid around her lungs. The clinic was able to get her stable and her legs splinted. Because of the intensity and cost of her anticipated recovery, the clinic recommended euthanasia. The Good Samaritans reached out to us to see if we could take her, and we said yes.
Despite what she had gone through, her spirit was so bright! She had to have many surgeries and was able to keep three of her legs. By the end of the year, she had found her forever family. She is happier than ever, and she is living her very best life.
