Cheese is a labrador/pit bull mix that is believed was hit by a car. Capital Veterinary Services, a Thrive Pet Healthcare partner, performed a life-saving surgery to remove one of his front legs.

The procedure was done at no cost.

Currently recovering in a foster home, Cheese is adapting remarkably well to life with three legs.

Jacksonville Animal Care & Protective Services have expressed their gratitude to Capital Veterinary Specialists for performing this critical surgery at no cost to give Cheese a chance to find a home where he can run and play every day.
