Heyo, I'm Disco!

I was found abandoned in a parking lot, living in a hole I dug in the ground in an attempt to stay cool. Being that I'm originally from Michigan, where in August of 2024, I was chipped at a dog rescue but never registered to anyone. I was found on July 22nd, 2025, in Columbia, South Carolina. I have since been to the vet for a checkup. Despite being malnourished, having a couple of fleas, and some dry skin, I got a pretty good bill of health! While I was there, I got an X-ray on my hind legs because I was walking with a limp and things just didn't seem right. After looking at the X-ray, the doctor and all the staff were baffled that I could even walk! The veterinarian and folks who rescued me had come to the conclusion that I was hit by a car (I think they're right) and need to see an orthopedic surgeon. We're in the process of scheduling an appointment for a consultation, but the type of procedure's I'll need are estimated to cost anywhere from 10 to 15 thousand dollars and will take months of recovery.

The kind people who found me and took me in are doing everything they can to raise money to help pay for my surgeries and recovery. Which brings me here, sharing my story and reaching out to other kind folks who are able to help in any way at all! Anything helps in our goal to get Disco back to good health and back together so she can live a long, happy, pain-free life. Only being around 2 years old, she has so much more life to live, and we want nothing more than to give her that life. Once we get with the orthopedic surgeon and get a better idea of exactly what she needs we'll keep everyone updated!

Thank you so much!

Disco and friends <3
