Hello everyone I’m raising money for a sweet little hound mix named dash. Dash is a shelter pup that has been at First State Animal Center and SPCA since February of 2023. Dash is extremely shy and timid of most men so he was placed in a foster home to help socialize him and bring him out of his shell. He was making incredible progress when one day while playing outside with other pups he made a wrong spin and dislocated his kneecap. He was taken in to see the vet and found to have a grade 3 luxating patella meaning the kneecap will require surgery by a orthopedic surgeon to deepen the groove that holds his kneecap in place while tightening the tendons so it does not happen again later in life. The surgeon examined the other knee and doesn’t foresee any future complications of the right leg but in order for him to use the left and not continue to walk on 3 legs we have to get him scheduled at blue pearl for the surgery which is estimated to potentially be as high as $6400. Dash is a happy healthy young adult that is only a year old and has his whole life ahead of him but only if we are able to get him this surgery. He is a shelter dog and we are a 501C3 animal shelter that relies heavily upon donations and don’t have the means to cover this sort of expensive surgery so any and all donations will help us help this poor sweet little guy no longer be in pain. Thank you so much for your support to help dash get back on track!
