A two-year-old dog found on the side of a freeway in Mexico with a broken leg will finally be able to join his forever family Thursday.
The dog, Orson, was found four months ago with a limp because his right front leg was too short due to a broken bone, according to the Rancho Coastal Human Society (RCHS).
Veterinarians determined he would need surgery and therapy to stretch the broken bone.
Residents who heard Orsons story donated enough money for him to receive leg surgery and therapy. Now,he is ready to go to his forever home, according to the humane society.

(51,591 posts)When I used to go down there it broke my heart every time. Add that to the homeless women with kids selling Chiclets on the street in addition to the cops being so corrupt. No wonder no one I know goes down there anymore (even most native Mexicans I know are leary).
