Boris a tiny 16.5 lb, 5-year-old Chiweenie, arrived at the shelter with a broken back leg, an injury that would have put him on death row. Time was critical, and his future looked grim, but Red Collar Rescue stepped in.
Boris was rushed to an orthopedic surgeon where he underwent complex surgery to repair his leg using plates and screws. He spent days in the hospital recovering and later moved to a foster home for ongoing care, physical therapy, and love. Despite his trauma, Boris’s sweet and playful personality shone through, winning over everyone who met him.
After months of healing, Boris found his forever home in New York, where he enjoys road trips to the Atlantic Ocean and adventures with his loving family. From death row to orthopedic surgery to a happy life filled with love, Boris’s journey shows the power of rescue, medical care, and second chances.
