Animal depicted is Tallie.

This girl was hanging around someone's house for a few days and eventually made it into her backyard. That's when her injury was noticed and we were called - she was also described as very skinny. We found her and wow - She had an embedded chain in her neck, but it looked like an old wound as her skin had grown over it in several places.

We didn't waste any time, but couldn't simply cut off Tallie's chain, it was embedded in her neck. So, our amazing surgeon actually had to cut around the chain as it was embedded so deep and in multiple places.

The surgery went so well and her wound healed better than we could have imagined. Through the whole process, Tallie was the sweetest patient! She just melted into everyone she met. It was no surprise she was adopted immediately once medically cleared!
