The Wizard of Paws

In Monticello, Florida, Derrick visits the Juniper Wildlife Rescue, run by Zach and Jess, to help a fox named Fig. Fig was born with a missing foot but used the shortened leg like a crutch. Unfortunately, a break in the leg required partial amputation and now it's too short to be used as a support, and remaining ankle is collapsing. Fig is Derrick's first fox, so he must study the other foxes at the sanctuary to gauge the correct angles for the brace he'll build to help the remaining leg. When fitted, Fig panics at first, but quickly adapts to the brace.

In Elkton, Maryland, Derrick stops at an apple butter festival before going to help the Sotnik family's Corgi, Ollie, born with split-paw ectrodactyly. The shorter legs and lack of a pronounced elbow to anchor a prosthetic on his first Corgi patient worry Derrick. He gifts the family with six hydrotherapy sessions for Ollie, something they couldn't afford. Ollie adjusts well and even runs in his new prosthetic.

In Fort Collins, Colorado, at Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary, Agatha is a year and a half old goat with malformed back legs who handstands vertically on her front legs. Derrick needs to design a unique (tie-dye) cart to support her, but also allows her to adjust angle to what's comfortable. The first build's straps need to be redone before Agatha accepts the cart.

Derrick travels to Montrose, Colorado to help Ivy, a miniature cow with front limb deformities.
