Sad news. The puppy who showed up at our house two nights ago, now named Roo, has a broken femur. We took her to the vet yesterday. It’s an old injury. So that means someone kicked a 6 to 12-month-old puppy, let her suffer for a few months, and then dumped her in the wilderness down Weber Canyon with a broken leg to leave her to starve or be eaten?! WTF, right?

So it would cost $5k to have the leg fixed. But the Denkai Animal Sanctuary says they can amputate it for much less, around $1500. We will still look into options for saving her leg, but that seems out of reach. We also need some money for her shots, getting her fixed, etc.

We have a lovely sweet mama who wants to adopt her already. But neither her new mom nor Steve and I can afford this right now with taxes due, so we’re asking for help.

We recognize this is a challenging time to ask for money. I don’t know about you, but our taxes sure as hell didn’t go down. Neither did our insurance, groceries, or gas. It’s tough. But it’s also tough to know what to do in this circumstance. Denkai said they would also help raise money, which is amazing❤️. Thanks for any help you can offer.
