(CNN) Tammi, an adorable 9-month-old retriever, arrived at the San Antonio Humane Society last month with with multiple injuries, including shotgun pellets in her body. During an examination, veterinarians spotted 70 pellets in Tammi's X-rays while also determining the puppy had been hit by a car. Doctors immediately took her into surgery to repair a pelvic fracture caused by blunt force trauma, San Antonio Humane Society Chief Veterinarian Kristine Hawkins told CNN in a statement. After a month of rehab in a foster home, the humane society worked around the clock to find Tammi a forever home. The Texas family, who wish to remain anonymous, decided to explore the idea of adopting a dog on the eve of their late son's second birthday.
