Little Buster Ray Needs Spinal Surgery

Donation protected
The year was 2017 when Little Buster Ray was rescued from the pound. Buster had just gotten a new lease on life. Greg had picked him up and was so excited to bring him home to Jennifer, sending photos to her at work of him looking out of the Jeep's window probably wondering where he was headed. Little did he know the impact he would have on them. He is the best dog they have ever owned. He is very gentle, loving and kind to his humans and his two fur siblings. He has a funny sense of humor and his expressions make everyone laugh. Jennifer is always posting photos and stories about him on her FB page. you can see the love she has for him and her other babies. Buster is extremely special though as Buster was a gift from Greg, her husband. Greg passed away 3 years ago from brain bleed with no warning and this is the last gift she received from him. She has had a rough 3 years and Buster is such a major part of her life. 

Yesterday, Jennifer came home from work and Buster Ray could not stand or walk. She immediately rushed him to the vet where they said they thought he may have a ruptured disk. This vet was not able to handle his care so they recommended she take him to a specialty vet in Nashville. Jennifer jumped right in her car with Buster and immediately drove all the way there. Upon arriving and having him checked out they said he would probably need surgery costing over $7000. They would not keep him unless she put $3500. down for his care and had to max out her credit card to do so. Jennifer can not lose Buster. Her dogs are such a big part of her life and it would just devastate her. Buster is also a young dog with a lot of living left to do. 

Please help her out with any donation you can to help pay for his surgery. 

Update: The doc just called and said Buster is in a lot of pain. They are doing an MRI and will call with results asap. No guarantee that Buster will walk again but if he can't he will have wheels.

Please help in anyway you can. Jennifer needs him as much as he needs her!

Myself, Jennifer and Buster Ray thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
