A Chance to be Pain Free

Life didn’t start out so well for Chance.  As a 4 month old pup, he was found and taken in by a Good Samaritan who saw him dodging traffic in a nighttime downpour.  Named for his second chance at a good life, this little boy’s sweet, gentle and loving personality quickly captured the hearts of everyone he met. 

We noticed, however, that he walked funny, like a stiff old man.  X-rays of his hips showed no problems, but a few weeks later, x-rays of his front legs revealed significant congenital abnormalities in both elbows.  Just the stress of walking has caused hairline fractures in both front legs.  His x-rays were sent to a leading veterinary orthopedist and we are thrilled to learn that Chance can have a normal, pain-free life with arthroscopic surgery.  The cost of that surgery will be close to $2,500 but we are committed to making sure that Chance can have the rest of his life to run, jump and play like a normal dog, without pain and without additional injury.

With your help, we can schedule Chance’s surgery soon.  Every donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.  Please contact us to learn more about donating to our Second Chance Fund.
