Friends, we need your assistance!
This is Mr. Freckles. He's only 10 months old and he needs our help. Mr. Freckles was sadly hit by a car a few days ago while Ethan, his dad, was visiting his brother. The driver didn't stop.
Mr. Freckles wasn't able to put weight on his hind leg after the accident. Ethan knew he needed to see a vet urgently, but he didn't have the financial resources to make it happen. Our friends at Hart County Animal Control contacted us, hoping we could help.
Thanks to the generous financial support of Second Life Atlanta, we were able to get him in to see a vet and the X-ray revealed things were worse than they looked. Mr. Freckles' femur is broken, and his hip is fractured. The best solution to get him back to being a puppy as soon as possible is to amputate his broken leg. The high end estimate for his surgery is around $1800, and we need your help to help him.
Mr. Freckles is loved and valued. He's very important to his Dad. In his own words -
"Mr. Freckles is such a good boy... he's only 10 months old, he is still a baby. He's my baby. I have no kids and I consider him my child. This is extremely hard for me and I'm sure even more so for him. Anytime he tries to put pressure on his leg or he moves the wrong way he cries out in pain and it breaks my heart. Through all of that, every time I call his name he still wags his tail. He's still a puppy and deserves a long life, the last thing I want to do is have to put him down. If anyone can donate to help get him he and I both will be beyond grateful."
If you are able to donate to help us with Mr. Freckles' surgery, any amount is deeply appreciated. We have also committed to neuter Mr. Freckles during his amputation surgery, and if they surgery costs less than $1800 any excess funds will go towards that.
Remember, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. Every dollar truly does matter. We absolutely want to continue to say yes to Hart County Animal Control and pet parents like Ethan, and your support can make sure that next time we get a call, we can say yes again.
Due to technical issues with Facebook's direct fundraising, we are using GoFundMe for this fundraiser. Please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] with any questions.
