Animal control found her walking around with a bullet wound in her head.

The veterinarian doesn’t know where the bullet is, but it may still be lodged in her body.

Those taking care of her at Knowles Animal Clinic say she is in good spirits and is lucky to have survived.

Miracle will need a foster home for recovery.

“You can clearly see a bullet hole in her head. I guess she is a miracle because who survives that?” said Dana Marcus with iHeart Animal Rescue.

Miracle needs thousands of dollars of medical care. Anyone looking to help with those expenses can find more information about doing so by clicking here.
