Twisty is a 4.5 year old, 50lb Australian Cattle Dog mix. She was a part of a cruelty case that the SPCA of East Texas assisted with back in December of 2023. The property owner had 14+ dogs penned up without food or water in inhumane conditions. Due to the severity of the case, Sheriffs seized the surviving dogs and charged the owner with 14 counts of animal cruelty. The SPCA received all the dogs including Twisty, who was by far in the worst condition. Rescuers on the property gathered that she was likely thrown over the fence into the pen and dislocated her left hip. She was left without medical care and due to her injury, Twisty declined unable to fend for herself. She became severely emaciated and was picked on by the other dogs. She weighed only 32lbs on arrival to the SPCA Snippet Clinic. Heartworm positive along with 13 of the others, Twisty also had a severely ulcerated skin infection all over her entire bony body. Her eyes were sunken into her head from dehydration. Twisty’s left hip was retracted so tightly to her body that she was unable to extend the leg at all. X-rays showed a luxation of the hip out of socket that was months old. SPCA stepped in and got Twisty straightened out with a refeeding plan, medication to treat the sores, and set her on the path for her eventual FHO surgery to correct the permanently dislocated hip. Today Twisty is showing off her love for playing ball while exercising her post-surgery hip! Thanks to donors, our veterinary team, volunteers, and staff, the SPCA was able to save her leg from amputation and get her ready for adoption. Twisty has now finished heartworm treatment and is back to 100% health. Six months after Twisty’s ordeal, she is a happy, energetic girl who loves to go on long walks through the trails with the caretakers. She is good with other well-mannered dogs, loves attention and playing ball. Twisty knows how to fetch and will play all day long if you let her! She would be a great companion dog or family dog for an active house. Apply to adopt Twisty by going to www.spcaeasttx.com
