Hamburg and Southeast Lexington are popular neighborhoods for pet lovers, and home to one of the city’s largest dog parks at Jacobson Park.
Meet Huck
Huck was found in our neighborhood on Christmas Eve by a Good Samaritan, wandering lost and alone, scared and in pain, at Jacobson Park.
Lexington Humane Society’s vet discovered Huck had a broken leg, two broken femoral heads, and two fractures in his jaw. This 1-year-old pit bull mix weighed only 20lbs – his injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle several weeks beforehand.
Huck is with a foster family as he is still recovering. There is still a long road ahead. You can follow Huck’s journey on social media via #huckthebravepup
