Help us help Cheddar

Cheddar is a one year old Pitbull mix who was hit by a car in early May then taken to a local shelter.  From there, Cheddar was taken into a foster home through HEART Animal Rescue & Adoption Team.  There was extensive damage done to his leg from being hit by the car so shortly after arriving at HEART he was taken to a veterinary orthopedic specialist.  Many radiographs were taken to verify that Cheddar did not have any broken bones.  What he does have is a sub-luxated (dislocated) carpus (wrist).  This will require a costly surgery to repair his leg. The radiographs, surgery & post-op care will cost over $3,000. 

Cheddar is a sweet, fun loving boy who's smile is utterly contagious.  He loves everyone he has meet, including cats & other dogs.  Cheddar is kennel trained & house broken.  He will be neutered & current on vaccinations before being adopted.  He will be up for adoption in about 2 1/2 months. 

HEART prides themselves on helping the "under-dog."  Unfortunately, this kind of care requires funding which HEART receives only from donations & fundraising.  If you can, please make a donation...every dollar counts!  You can also help by spreading the word about Cheddar & about HEART.
