A Village Needed For Sweet Bubba - GOAL MET!!!

Some of you may know Bubba by his former name, Dutch. This honeysweet little guy has gone through so much! Bubba was abandoned in the streets and had a broken left rear leg that was left untreated for months. We raised $710 last year for his neuter and to insert a pin in his leg. The pin was adjusted as it was pressing against his sciatic nerve and eventually had to be removed ahead of schedule due to the pain. Although his bone has healed, he has suffered damage to his sciatic nerve; and he has chewed his toes nearly down to the bone. The best option now to save him from his pain and discomfort would be an amputation of the leg. Bubba's young (a year or so old), very agile and has a great disposition so he's an excellent candidate for an amputation. Plus, he's already not using the leg so his compensation for the loss is already in progress.

The estimate for the surgery is $1500-$1800 which includes a courtesy extraction of a canine tooth with exposed pulp. We don't know how he's been so sweet and affectionate despite all his pain!

I know times are rough but we just had to give Bubba a well-deserved chance and fundraise for this final surgery to resolve all of this little pumpkin's pain. Once he's recovered, this compact 42lb tripod will be available for adoption. He is good with other dogs (wants to play with the resident female BT), great with children but is not cat-safe. He is very sweet and extremely affectionate.

Bubba has a recovery spot lined up but a home where he'll be fostered with the possibility of adoption would be ideal!

3/1 Update: Thanks to St. Malo, Azteca, Craig & Angie, Rue W., Krystell G., Mark C., Kelly M. KG & Memo, Andi C., Roma A. Barb & Pete F., Dorey & Willy, Judy N. & Kobi, John & Alex, and Anna S., $1845 has been pledged/raised - we have met our goal! Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude for the emotional and financial support received for this wiggly boy. Rest assured that I will hug the stuffing out of each one of you when we meet!!!

I've been in touch with a down-to-earth vet acupuncturist who has suggested some self-diagnostics before acupuncture and amputation should be considered. We'll run through some exercises and are keeping our paws crossed for the best! Please stay tuned for updates. I'm truly honored to be a part of such a caring and wonderful bully community!
