She was rescued from a puppy mill. Look at her legs! :cry:


From what I have read they are going to need thousands so she can walk. Right now she walks on her elbows. You can make a donation directly through paypal.

1. it is heartbreaking to see this poor dog in that condition.
you would think that some veterinarian might just have the good heart to help this dog out of the goodness of his heart ... surely there must be such a veterinarian somewhere.

2. Surgery like that for 2 legs costs more than $6000. Six THOUSAND dollars.
I know because I paid $3000 to save my little dog's leg when it was badly broken from another dog's bite.

She still limps, it's crooked and very weak. It's little more than a balancing tool for her, so the chances of that little chewy gaining anything of value from surgery are slim to none.

Sadly, we can't save all of them... it breaks my heart.

We just adopted a jack russell terrier this week, so we have saved one!

3. Actually the latest pictures of her have both her feet in a cast. And I think
the vet is working with the organization but he is probably just giving a big break.

4. that vet would be in the
poor house. i think that is the first thing they teach you in vet school- how to say no.
