Gee's Christmas Miracle

Donation protected
Please help us help Gee! Poor Gee was hit by a car and needs your help! He was dropped off at ACCT Philadelphia after being found hobbling the streets.Medical staff at ACCT noted that he had been hit by a car and that he was limping on 2 legs, had ulcerated skin wounds, enflamed ear canals and hair loss from an unknown condition. Despite all this, he is a calm and gentle dog who loves attention. Because of his medical issues Gee was very urgent at ACCT and only had 48 hours - ACCT does not have the resources to treat cases like his. He was put up for adoption but was unable to be fostered because ACCT could not medically support him. So whoever saved him would have to absorb all out of pocket expenses for this poor boys medical care. Lucky for Gee, he had an angel following his story. She recently adopted a dog from ACCT (within the past year) and she already had another dog so that means Gee makes three. Despite all this, she couldn't just sit back and watch so she left work early the following day and went to give Gee a second chance at life. Her motto for the situation? "Your home is not full, unless your heart is". We love her for saving Gee and are hoping to help cover the majority of his medical bills so that she can focus on getting him better and not have to worry about any financial issues. Here's what has been done so far - he was sedated so the vet could shave around his wounds and clean them out. His ears were cleaned. They used level 3 laser therapy for his lacerations, they ran blood tests for just about every possible issue (he's heartworm negative, which is great). He received his heartworm medication, was neutered and was sent home with Rimadyl (pain medication) and a steroid powder to apply to his wounds. He will need follow up care. His current medical costs so far are $600.00 and we are looking to raise a total of $900.00 to help cover his current costs and future medical care. Please note we will keep everyone who donates 100% informed on costs and any money raised that is above and beyond Gee's medical costs after all is said and done will be donated to Philadoptables - Philadoptables is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit corporation that provides support for adoption, welfare, and outreach programs that benefit the 30,000+ animals received each year by the Philadelphia Animal Control Shelter, the Delaware Valley Region's largest open-door municipal animal shelter. It's the season of giving - please consider helping out Gee! Although his Christmas miracle has already arrived, his story is far from over. Thank you all in advance!
