While walking near a park a mother and her son saw two puppies lying on a blanket. It was a rainy day, and the dogs were soaked (and so was the blanket). The puppies were very thin, weak, and hardly moving. The mother and son scooped up the pups and rushed them to Sacramento SPCA. Sadly, one of the puppies died soon after getting to the SPCA.

The other pup was barely alive. They named him Petey. Petey was very cold. They gave him warm IV fluids. Petey also had ringworm and abrasions on his neck and chin. Petey stabilized. Then the staff noticed that he could really walk or stand well on his own.

Petey had cerebellar hypoplasia. Parts of his cerebellum were underdeveloped. Petey had a long road ahead. The Sacramento SPCA wasn’t going to give up! They gave Petey physical therapy every day and of course, a lot of love, and plenty of food and water.
