A little about me...Hi, I’m Grizzly. I came to the New Hampshire SPCA as an emergency case when I was less than 24 hours old. I had a severe cleft palate, which means I couldn’t eat on my own and needed constant tube feeding.
Thanks to the amazing staff and volunteers, I received the care I needed. I was fostered by a loving staff member who took me everywhere and dedicated her life to keeping me alive and healthy. Due to my cleft palate, I was tube-fed for the first 3 to 3.5 months of my life. The specialist who treated me said it was one of the worst he had ever seen because of its large size. By the time I was four and a half months old, I had undergone two complex surgeries. Although I still have a tiny hole that might need fixing in the future, I am now a happy and thriving puppy who has found my forever home with my former foster mom.
I’m grateful for the second chance I was given and can’t wait to see what the future holds!
