"Twister" the dog looking for a new home in Wisconsin

SAUKVILLE -- "Twister" the dog is looking for a second chance at the Wisconsin Humane Society Ozaukee Campus after barely surviving a devastating tornado.

“Twister” was found wandering through a field in West Liberty, Kentucky after a tornado ripped through the town on March 3, 2012.

Staff members at WHS were told by shelter officials in Kentucky that dogs were running loose throughout West Liberty, and many animals had to be surrendered to animal shelters because so many families had lost their homes.  Several of those dogs, including Twister, were transferred to the Wisconsin Humane Society Ozaukee Campus this week.

Twister’s front leg was seriously injured and had to be amputated immediately in Kentucky. His eye was previously missing but needed additional surgery when he arrived in Wisconsin. Now, the three-year-old dog is almost fully recovered and looking for a new home.

Despite his injuries, Twister's prognosis is excellent.
