When he came to the shelter, the medical staff noticed that he walked a little funny. A doctor diagnosed Peanut with luxating pelvis. Many dogs are able to compensate very well with luxating patellas and never need further treatment. There are some dogs, however, who require surgery to deepen the groove and keep the patella in place. It is important not to let Peanut get overweight as this would add more stress on the joints.
Orange County Animal Services’ mission is to meet the needs of residents by working with volunteers and other partners to deliver cost-effective and integrated sheltering and animal control services that ensure the health, safety and well being of humans, pets and the community as a whole. Addressing the problem of pet overpopulation with a proactive and positive approach is an integral ingredient of the department’s mission.
