A puppy is getting a new lease on life after being rescued from life-threatening facial injuries in Pasadena.<\/p>\n

Peanut, a two-and-a-half-month-old puppy, was brought in as a stray after being rescued by a Good Samaritan in Arcadia on March 9, according to Jamie Holman, chief marketing and communications officer for Pasadena Humane. Peanut, who is believed to be a shepherd-husky mix, suffered a significant traumatic injury, destroying most of his nose and dislocating his jaw.<\/p>\n

Exactly how he was injured is unknown. <\/p>\n

According to Holman, Pasadena Humane veterinarians placed a stent in one of Peanut’s nose to keep the skin from closing as the wound healed. However, his nostrils could not be preserved, and he is now breathing through his mouth.<\/p>\n

Despite this, his care team says Peanut is in remarkably good spirits.<\/p>\n

“He’s happy as a clam,” Holman said. “he likes to play.”<\/p>\n

According to Pasadena Humane, dogs who lose their noses for medical reasons can still recover and enjoy a quality life.<\/p>\n

“He really enjoys his food and has no trouble eating,” Holman said.<\/p>\n

He doesn’t smell peanuts, but caregivers say those limitations haven’t stopped him from adjusting to his new surroundings.<\/p>\n

Currently, Peanut is in the care of Pasadena Humane and will remain there until he is medically ready for adoption. As he recovers, the organization is continuing to provide him with treatment and monitoring, with the goal of helping him recover and eventually find a new home.<\/p>\n

Pasadena Humane staff started a fundraiser to help care for the pups and have already Exceeded its target.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n
