Here is Juno in Helping Orphaned Hounds' care.PHOENIX (CBS5) -
A puppy thrown from a moving vehicle is getting a new lease on life, thanks to an Maricopa County animal rescue group.
The puppy, named Juno, suffered two broken elbows and severe road rash after she was tossed from a moving car.
The dog was within a mere two hours of being euthanized when the group Helping Orphaned Hounds claimed her and took her in.
"They gave us a brief window of two hours because it was inhumane to keep her without pain management," Helping Orphaned Hounds spokesman Jason Rieker said.
Funding for Juno's care will come from the Phoenix Animal Care Coalition's Lulu's Angel Fund.
The fund was created earlier this year to help pay for treatment in severe animal neglect or abuse cases.
