Cane’s Crossing is works out of the Hiawassee Veterinary Clinic. It began with taking in animals that were left on our doorstep. However, in 2008, a puppy came to us with the name, Cane. Cane was only 3 months old and was already limping. Within a week, he was paralyzed in his back legs. The owners chose not to care for him anymore, and we took him in. With donations from our wonderful clients, we were able to get him a wheelchair and he was up and running! He had such a wonderful spirit and was adopted by a loving family. After a year, he was diagnosed with a tumor that ended his life. We look back at Cane and know that he lived his short life to the fullest. That’s how Cane’s Crossing was started. Now, we focus on animals that may now have a chance in a shelter setting. We have treated many heartworm positive dogs, dogs that have had to have leg amputations, and kittens with severe eye trauma.
