Hikers out exploring the trails near Central and Hatcher road happened to stumble across an injured dog on top of the mountain. Moments after calling Emergency Animal Medical Technicians™ from the Arizona Humane Society, the dog, now known as Roy, was rescued and carried off the mountain on a stretcher.
Humane Society workers estimate Roy was stranded on the mountain for about a week before he was rescued.
Thin and unable to stand with an injured leg, Roy underwent medical treatment and spent the next few weeks recovering. Now the young 2-year-old is ready to start the next chapter in life and hopes to land a home with a spacious yard and plenty of squeaky toys. After a daily walk, he’s content to lounge around by your side or chew a bone.
Roy is available at the Arizona Humane Society’s Sunnyslope Campus.
