Jaspers new leg

Jasper is our one and a half year old German shepherd. He is easily one of the most loving, goofy dogs we have ever had.
On Friday, October 2nd around dinner time hetook off and came back without bearing any weight and yelping.  We immediately brought him to riverview animal hospital, who informed us he fractured his elbow, and will need orthopaedic surgery to repair.  Between vet visits he had last night and what he will need in the future, along with the surgery cost, it will be five thousand dollars. 
We do not want to beg people for money, however this is completely unexpected of course.  Any dollar that anyone could donate in this time would be unbelievably helpful to get Jasper back to himself.
