A puppy with two crushed paws will be back on its feet in no time, the Winnipeg Humane Society said.

Someone brought in the five-month-old Corgi-Sheltie mix on Thursday. The dog, named Mittens, had extensive injuries to his back paws from being hit by a car a month ago.

Mittens didn’t receive veterinary care at the time, and his right leg became infected, requiring amputation. The left foot is healing, and with the help of a prosthetic, Mittens will eventually be able to walk without pain.

“The puppy doesn’t have a foot pad, so he walks directly on the skin over the bones, which is extremely painful,” said Dr. Erika Anseeuw, WHS director of animal health in a news release.

Anseeuw will perform the surgery.

“There is an intact ankle joint, which is fortunate because a brace can be attached to it. Given his small size and friendly disposition, he should adapt with ease.”

Mittens has a foster home where he will recover before the WHS puts him up for adoption.
