Ivy April Pit Bull Terrier Young - Adoption, Rescue for sale in Plainfield, Illinois

Ivy April arrived from Cairo, IL after she lived as a stay in an abandoned home under the care of two residents.

They worked for months to gain her trust in hopes of capturing her and find rescue up North.

Ivy was following one of the men in his powered wheelchair when a door opened to a house and gunfire stuck her in the right hind leg.

Ivy ran off in pain.

She returned wandering the streets two days later when another man struck her over the skull with a beer bottle, cutting her skin open with a 2 1/2 x 2-inch gash.

Her good Samaritans chased her down and were able to enlist help in delivering her to an emergency vet.

The head gash was cauterized closed and the hind leg left broken with shrapnel lodged in the tissue.

On March 29th she met with an Orthopedic Surgeon and will be on restricted activity and plenty of bed rest inside her crate to prevent the leg from continuing to split.

She has another appointment for X-rays in two weeks for further diagnosis.
