Jamestown, CA – Take a look at the pretty pooch in the image box, she needs the public’s help.

The X-ray shows Winnie’s broken leg. The vet also determined it had happened weeks prior to the officers finding her. Shelter officials are making this plea: “Unfortunately, due to the extent of her injury, her leg needs to be amputated. We are asking for financial help for her medical expenses. Shelter dogs need us more than ever, and Minnie needs a second chance.”
