Meet Josey, Rescued by Cold Wet Noses

Josey was found as a stray and turned into a local shelter with a broken lower jaw, when Tucson Cold Wet Noses pulled him into our rescue. University Pet Clinic was able to get him in right away to treat his jaw, which ended up being worse than they had initially thought. Because his jaw had been broken for so long, there was so much dead bone that they had to amputate more than half of the jaw. The veterinarians had to repair skin on Josey’s tiny jaw twice, because his stitches had come out. Josey was a trooper during it all! Over a seven week period, he was in a cone, being hand fed breakfast and dinner, getting multiple medications and seeing the vet many, many times. Understandably, he was pretty cranky and in the beginning. As the weeks went on and he started to heal and realize that he was safe, his personality started to come out. He became friendly and a little trusting. He even started to hang out with some of his foster siblings. He will forever eat canned food, and drool, but those are both quirks we love about Josey!
