Franklin's Fight: Getting Our Boy Back on His Paws

Our good boy was hit by a car on December 17th, 2024. Thanks to the efforts of CHP and Sunny Brae Animal Clinic, Franklin has made it through the initial traumas and can continue healing at home. While the fluid in his chest and internal bleeding have subsided, Franklin's pelvis is broken is multiple places and has a dislocated hip that we are unable to treat until the pelvis heals. Sunny Brae has been amazing in the care they have provided, but between Franklin being as large a dog as he is (110 lbs of Bernese Mountain Dog & Anatolian Shepherd) and our limited veterinarian resources in our rural community, we are forced to travel elsewhere for the next stages of care. The closest specialist to accommodate his needs is in Medford, OR.

While we are responsible for paying all costs up front, we are very fortunate to have pet insurance to help with the costs of this emergency. We are, however, rapidly approaching his annual limit of $10000 in reimbursement, with at least one more surgery required for him to walk without assistance. Insurance also does not help with the costs incurred traveling to get him to his appointments. Because of this, we are turning to the community to ask for help.

Since adopting our fur-baby, Franklin has done nothing but bring joy and happiness to everyone he meets. Even throughout this horrible event, he has stayed true to his nature and gives kisses and love to anyone who visits him. Thank you all for your help getting this sweet boy back to a normal life.

If the donated funds exceed his medical costs, we plan to donate the remainder to Sunny Brae Animal Clinic so that someone else's loved one can have the same opportunity we did.
