Abandoned "Mermaid" Dog with Six Legs Discovered In Supermarket Parking Lot
By JamieFlower
This six-legged dog hasn't had an easy go of it. The little spaniel, left all alone, was discovered in a Welsh supermarket parking lot. It's hard to say how much longer she would've lasted without any help. Luckily, the right folks showed up just in time to save her! Greenacres Rescue wasted no time embracing her into their fold, affectionately dubbing her Ariel after the Disney princess. She earned the name because her extra limbs, each with a paw, looked like a flipper.
In order to give Ariel the surgery she needed, the non-profit raised money. Thanks to the kindness of the folks who donated, this sweet pup underwent this much needed procedure at the Langford Vets Small Animal Referral Hospital.
Dog Born With Six Legs Gets Life-Changing Help
“Ariel was a complicated little dog,” Vicki Black, director of the hospital says. “We are a center committed to career-long learning and are proud to innovate and treat pets like Ariel.”
Despite the newness of the situation, the folks at Langford were able to successfully remove Ariel’s additional limbs. In fact, she’s already out and about at home with her foster parents, adjusting to her new life with only four limbs.
Based on the way Ariel happily sniffs around the lawn, all the while tugging eagerly on her leash, it’s safe to say she’s well on her way to recovery!
“She is doing brilliantly,” Vicki confirms.
