Kelowna SPCA appeals for help for injured doberman 

The Kelowna SPCA is caring for a purebred doberman named Alice, however, the injured pup needs a lot of medical attention before she’ll be able to be rehomed.

The three-year-old dog suffered a ruptured cruciate and torn meniscus, requiring tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy (TPLO) surgery to be able to walk and run again without pain.

“Alice loves cuddles and she’s most relaxed when she’s around people,” says SPCA Kelowna branch manager Sean Hogan.

“She enjoys playing outside and going for walks but she can’t do either right now because of her injury.” This gentle dog takes her time fluffing up her bed with her paws before settling in and ‘smiles’ at everyone she knows.

Alice’s surgery, rehabilitation, medication and daily care is expected to cost $5,233.

Alice has an excellent prognosis if she can get the surgery, but she does need the surgery and approximately 8 weeks of rested rehabilitation in foster care.
