Unfortunately, because of the nature of the humane society, sometimes pets are brought to the shelter with serious injuries, and that was the case recently, as a dog arrived at the shelter after receiving a botched, do-it-yourself neuter job.

Injured Grand Junction, Colorado Dog Arrives at Humane Society

The story was shared on the official Roice-Hurst Humane Society Facebook page on Friday, January 23, at 7:30 a.m.

The post was accompanied by a photo of the animal, a two-year-old mixed-breed male dog named Scout, as well as the story of how he was the victim of an attempted neuter job not performed by a professional veterinarian.

Roice-Hurst also shared that they can help offer low-cost neutering and spaying for pets and that this type of surgery should never be performed at home unless by a skilled, professional vet.

Luckily, after arriving at Roice-Hurst Humane Society, Scout was taken into surgery to repair the botched neuter job, and he is currently recovering.

The humane society noted that despite being a victim of a poor neuter job, Scout “may be the happiest and most trusting pet in the whole shelter.”
