Terry, an 8-year-old foster dog, is this week’s Pet of the Week. Terry came to PAWS as a stray dog who had sustained significant trauma with no veterinary care. After entering PAWS’ care, Terry had to have an emergency amputation of his right hind leg and a veterinary ophthalmologist needed to surgically remove his left eye. Through all of this, Terry still has his bubbly spirit and is always excited to greet his favorite people. His adoption fee is $65. To find out more about Terry, call PAWS of Coronado, which runs the city’s Animal Care Facility at (619) 522-7371.
