Dozer is a two-year-old mastiff cross and he has travelled quite the journey in his short life. He holds the title of longest resident of Lort Smith’s Adoption Centre! Arriving at the Hospital with a broken front leg after being hit by a car, he was surrendered by his carers. The leg was so damaged it needed amputation. His other front leg was weak and needed a custom-designed strengthening brace made in the USA! Dozer was placed into foster care with Lisa and Corey – and it was always their intention to adopt Dozer once he got the all clear. And after 386 days, he officially became part of their family!
