GRU Needs YOU! Medical Care Urgently Needed

Gru arrived at East Valley shelter in August. He's charming and goofy. He's a potato, and loves affection. Calm, friendly, and good with dogs, it's a wonder and a shame that he hasn't been adopted yet. But Gru has an even bigger problem right now.

Last week, a volunteer was blowing bubbles for Gru in his kennel. Gru LOVES bubbles! He jumped up to catch one and landed badly on his leg, which is now broken and will likely need surgery. The shelter has Orange-listed Gru as medically urgent.

We are raising funds to get Gru his surgery and allow him to board at the vet while he recovers. Any donation you can make is much appreciated! And please pass this on to any animal loving friends or groups you know as well.

Of course, if you can adopt Gru, foster him, or are connected to a rescue group that could pull him from the shelter, please reach out. We need to fix his leg now, but he needs a forever home too! Loved by shelter staff and volunteers, he would be the perfect new best friend or family member. Gru's shelter ID number is #A2044357.
