Some dogs face more challenges in their first few months than most do in a lifetime. Arrow is one of them.

When she arrived at Save Them All Animal Rescue at just 11 weeks old, she couldn’t use her hind legs. A spinal fracture had left her unable to walk, and her future was uncertain. Surgery wasn’t an option due to her young age, so instead, she spent months on strict crate rest, waiting to see if her body could heal on its own. And somehow, it did.

As time passed, Arrow surprised everyone. She started to regain mobility, little by little. Therapy helped, but it was her determination that made the biggest difference. By the time she was old enough for surgery, it was clear she didn’t need it—she had already defied the odds.
