❤️🩹 JACK MADE IT THROUGH SURGERY! ❤️ But we still need your help.
Our sweet Jack has made it through surgery, and we are so relieved to share that he's recovering! ❤️
For those who don't know Jack's story, we originally rescued him and his entire family after they were found living underneath a dumpster. It took nearly a year to find Jack a home, but he was finally adopted. Sadly, after he was struck by a car and suffered devastating injuries, his adopters were unable to take on the enormous veterinary expenses, and Jack was relinquished back to our rescue.
We had already fought so hard to give this boy a second chance. We weren't about to give up on him now.
🐾 Here's Jack's medical update:
Surgeons repaired his fractured elbow with a permanent plate and screws, closed the incision with staples, and placed his leg in a large cast.
His fractured neck is more complicated. There isn't much that can be done surgically at this point, so we're taking things slowly, avoiding collars, and monitoring closely for neurological changes. We don't yet know whether he'll need physical therapy or ever be able to safely wear a collar again.
Jack was pretty woozy after surgery and remained hospitalized until he was eating on his own. But as he was leaving the hospital, he was already trying to put some weight on his injured leg! ❤️
There may be arthritis in that elbow years down the road, but right now, we're just grateful that Jack has a chance to heal.
💔 Now comes the part where we really need our village.
Jack's final veterinary bill was over $8,200, and we are still $4,000 SHORT.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has already donated. Truly. But that remaining $4,000 is sitting on our rescue's credit card, and for a small nonprofit caring for dogs across the country, that is an enormous financial burden.
Just recently, we were asked to save SIX MORE DOGS facing euthanasia. Each one will require thousands of dollars in veterinary care, transportation, and ongoing support.
And this is the heartbreaking reality of rescue: When we spend everything saving one life, it becomes harder to save the next.
It also means making sacrifices elsewhere. Fewer adoption events, fewer opportunities to hire photographers or dog walkers to help our long-term residents find homes, and fewer resources to provide the level of care and enrichment we want every dog to have.
Jack's mama, Harley, is still waiting for her forever home, even though the rest of her family has been adopted. We haven't forgotten about her or the many others depending on us.
🙏 Can you help us close Jack's $4,000 gap?
Whether it's $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, or $200, every donation gets us closer.
And if a larger gift isn't possible, please consider becoming a monthly supporter. Even $5, $10, or $15 a month creates dependable support for food, medication, and everyday care for dogs who have nowhere else to turn.
We saved Jack once. We saved him again. Now we're asking for your help so we can keep saving the next one. ❤️
Please donate if you can, and share Jack's story. Every little bit matters.
