Carmel found himself meeting the staff due to a torn ACL and was in need of surgery. Due to swift care and attentiveness from the entire team, my recovery was quick and supported thoroughly. Hear Carmel's story from his parents:

Hi human peeps, my name is Carmel, and yes if you’re wondering I am just as sweet as the gooey treat. I’m a 3-year and 9-month-old Pitt/Terrier mix with a sweet, goofy personality that loves attention. There’s nothing I like better than visits that include ear scratches, belly rubs, snuggles, and outdoor fun. I love walks, runs, and spending quality time with my favorite humans. I can also do well with other dogs but this girl needs proper introductions to get the party started.

I’ve had quite the topsy-turvy few months but I haven’t let anything keep my naturally happy, sweet spirit down for long. I thought I had found my fur-ever home a few years ago but things didn’t work out as planned and I found myself back here at FMAR late last year. The good people here took me back in and soon noticed I was having some trouble walking which they knew wasn’t normal for me.

Silly me, I must have got overzealous with my playing a while back and I guess my caretakers didn’t catch it before returning me. I soon found myself at the clinic under the care of Dr. Dhaliwal who pronounced that I had a torn ACL which he said was the most common orthopedic injury in dogs and that I would need surgery.
