Help Lincoln get new hips!
Donation protected
Meet Lincoln! He may look like just your average Anatolian Shepherd, but he is much more than that.
He likes to go on adventures, spend time with his siblings, and celebrate holidays.
However despite his stoic appearance his mom and dad noticed that his hips clicked during long walks. After a visit to they vet found out that Lincoln wasn't quite like most other Anatolian Shepherds, he suffered from hip dysplasia. Hip Dysplasia is a condition where there is an abnormality in the formation of the hip socket. Hip Dysplasia can lead to lameness and severe arthritis. After his x-rays were examined Lincoln and his parents found out that he has a more serve case. His left hip socket was essentially nonexistent, and his right hip was barely in it's socket.
There is hope for Lincoln though, canines with total hip replacements (THR) can live relatively normal and painless lives. So of course Lincoln's parents decided that's what we had to do, turn Lincoln into the real "pup of steel" by replacing both of his hips.
However with each hip costing potentially 8,500 dollars, and his parents just getting married and buying thier first home funds are low. So we are hoping by sharing his story to help fund Lincoln's THR so that this pup will be able to continue to spread his Lincoln love!
