Buster

We recieved a call on Monday from a good samaritan who had found a puppy wandering on the side of the 10 freeway in San Bernardino. When we talked with her, she had the puppy in her home and noticed that he couldn't walk on his rear legs like he should be able to. She knew he needed vet care but could not provide that for him. Her only other option was to take him to the San Bernardino animal shelter where they would have had to euthanize him due to his injury.

We decided to take Buster into our rescue and get him the vet care that he needed. Buster arrived yesterday and went straight to Alicia Pet Care Center and saw Dr. Wheaton. Unfortunatley, what we were hoping was a hurt paw turned out to be a fractured Femur. You can see from the xrays that this little guys large bone in his leg is broken almost in half. We do not know how long he suffered like this, but know that he must have been in considerable pain.

After discussing our options with Dr. Wheaton, we decided to go out on a limb and plan his surgery for today! The sooner he gets the sugery, the less complications he may have. Without knowing how we were going to fund this surgery, we scheduled the orthopedic surgeon to come in today and repair Buster's leg.

We now need your help! Buster should be in surgery within the next couple of hours. We know that his surgery will exceed $3000. We are turning to you, our loyal adopters, supporters and friends. Can you help us pay for Buster's surgery today? Every little bit helps and no donation is too small! Skip the Starbucks this afternoon and help Buster run and play like a puppy should!

Puppies are a life-long commitment. They need time, training, vet care and healthy feeding to become good canine citizens. Don't even think of adopting a puppy unless you intend to invest the time and money and commitment required, and you can expect to lose a few good shoes along the way!

The minimum adoption donation ranges from $400 to $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible.

Prior to placement, all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are usually microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis. Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
