Help Charlie Overcome His Latest Challenge

Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,

We’re writing to you with heavy hearts and a deep sense of urgency for a special member of our family, Charlie. Charlie is a three-legged dog who has touched our lives in ways we could never have imagined, and now he’s facing a new challenge that we can’t tackle alone.

Charlie came into our lives through Follow Your Heart Animal Rescue, where my fiancé Joe and I volunteer. Charlie’s journey has been one of incredible resilience and strength. He was rescued after being given away in a parking lot in Coolidge, AZ, where he had tragically been attacked by a big dog. The attack shattered his shoulder into 15 pieces, ultimately leading to the amputation of his front right leg.

Despite the trauma he endured, Charlie has shown amazing spirit. After a difficult recovery, he bounded around with joy, running and playing with his fur siblings as if he had never known pain.

Charlie is only one year old, and his journey is far from over. Today, on 8/23/2024, we took him to the vet after noticing him limping again on his back leg and relying heavily on his two remaining legs. The X-rays revealed that Charlie has an inflamed hip and requires surgery to relieve his pain and give him a chance at a comfortable life.

The costs of this surgery are substantial, and it’s a burden we cannot bear alone. If you can donate anything, it would be amazing—anything could help. We’ve started this GoFundMe to help cover Charlie’s medical expenses and give him the chance to continue living a happy, pain-free life. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards his surgery and recovery.

Charlie has already overcome so much, and with your support, we believe he can overcome this hurdle too. Your kindness and generosity will make a profound difference in his life, allowing him to continue enjoying the love and happiness he so deserves.

Thank you for reading Charlie’s story and for any support you can offer. Please share this campaign with others who might want to help, and know that your support means the world to us and to Charlie.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Joe and Kay
