Rescue Puppy Orthopedic Surgery Help!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jessica and I am fundraising for my dog Kojak. We rescued this sweet loving boy on January 13th from a local NYC rescue. Kojak was found as a stray so he doesn't have much of a story (besides that he was found in a prison yard in Missouri). Over the two months that we had him he gradually started limping. His limping seemed to get worse instead of better. We took him to our local vet who performed an examination, put him on meds for two weeks and said it was likely Panosteitis. He seemed to improve, but then went right back to limping, so next step was to perform a sedated xray. Kojak's x-ray showed numerous issues. His growth plate closed early which is causing elbow luxation. To my understanding since the growth plate closed early the ulna bone wasn't able to grow enough, causing the elbow luxation. He also has some bone spurs in his leg as well. Its unclear at this point if surgery will need to be done on both legs or just one. Kojaks surgery is planned for April 22nd.

With Kojak being so young we want to be able to provide the proper surgery so he can live a long, fulfilling life as a rescue pup! Besides his structural issues, he is an overall healthy boy. All of his blood work and flea/tick disease testing came back perfect!

Please consider donating to help us afford Kojak's surgery. The orthopedic surgery estimate is $5,000-$6,000. Any amount will help and if you can't donate, please share this fundraiser.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! We love our puppies dearly!
XoXo Jessica, Shaun, Kodi, & Kojak
