LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Three animals have been reunited and are now recovering at a Henderson animal hospital after they were all injured during a fiery crash on Interstate 15 earlier this week.

On November 8, a semi truck overturned and caught fire after colliding with a motorhome with two dogs and a turtle inside.

The Paws Patrol LV rescue group stepped in to begin caring for the animals. One dog they named Miracle had burns on his face, body and paws. They later found out her name was Chloe.

Wednesday afternoon, Chole was reunited with the other pets at Horizon Ridge Animal Hospital in Henderson. Her tail waggled with excitement as she was reunited with Jim the Pomeranian.

Jim also suffered burns to his hind limbs. The turtle, which also suffered injuries, was placed in the same play space.

Chloe was rescued about two miles from the crash site by a good Samaritan.

“As you can see her front paws are bandaged and her front paws were pretty burnt…I don’t know if that was from the actual fire or her running or a combination of both. You could tell his whiskers were pricked, he had some burns and wounds around his face,” said Maressa Larimer, a veterinarian at Horizon Ridge Animal Hospital.

In addition to emergency medical care, the team at Horizon Ridge also makes sure Chole gets plenty of TLC.

“Just give him lots of love. The staff here are lovely left and right. He’s a very, very sweet dog,” Larimer revealed.

On Thursday, the owner of the animals who was hospitalized following the accident will be reunited with them. Vets hope Chole will be fluid free by then and ready to go home.

Paws Patrol LV recently helped several dogs, including Reba, the bulldog found dumped behind a grocery store, trapped in a sealed bin.
