Fawn born with deformities fitted with prosthetics

[Maine-ah]

The fawn’s name is Lazareth and when you hear its story, it’s easy to understand why.

A few days ago, the deer was destined to be put down. It had been born with deformities and abandoned by its mother. Unable to walk on its own, the fawn was doomed to certain death. If some well-meaning human didn’t end its life, a bigger animal surely would.

Enter Karen Hawkins. She knows wildlife and, more importantly, how to get things done.

“She’s amazing,” said Gary M. Yackley of New England Brace Co. in Lewiston. “She’s such a nice lady. She’s a delight to be around.”
