I just spoke with Star, at the Victoria SPCA re: J.D. She checked his info for me, came back on the line, and said, "All I can tell you is that he was adopted out instantly - he wasn't with us very long at all."
I asked if he had had any surgery, or amputation to his leg, and Star said she didn't know.
I don't believe that any real animal welfare organization wouldn't know if an animal with a smashed leg had surgery or not before giving it to someone.
