Soo if I am understanding the site right, if he has to have that surgery he will squat to pee like a girl?

Well the opening would be similar but he may or may not still lift his leg.

That sucks! You'd think there would be wording in the 10 day stray hold law to allow for emergency vet work to be done. Our state has a 4 day stray hold. On the one hand you can get medical care sooner if needed, on the other hand it allows shelters to euthanize earlier, possibly before an owner can be found.

See the AC could have euth'd him on intake due to his injury. And would have due to breed. However if he was not able to urinate we would have done surgery when he came in. That would have been emergent. At the time all we needed to do to stabilize him was replace the penis and put him on antibiotics. And that is the law. I am doing all the nursing care. We sedated him and cleaned the wound.

Youch. Poor fella.

Cynthia - you are awesome for fostering yet another pup!

I am a sucker at times. LOL

I get calls a lot for dogs. But I will not take an owner surrender. And the majority of the calls I receive are owner surrenders. But I will not turn away situations like this. I have already contacted the rescue that Junkyard went to in hopes of getting this boy in if the owner does not come forward. I do not trust many rescues but this one I do 100%.
