Critter Crossings Needs Emergency Funds for Surgery, Diva, 3 month old Pit Mix

Darling pit puppy with fracture of distal left humerus involving elbow joint. Will need surgery. It looks like it just happened within the last two days. Owner surrendered because they could not afford repair. Puppy can be picked up Now and we have x-rays available.

She was dropped off at the shelter by her owners who could not afford her care, we were contacted on Friday afternoon. One of our volunteers left our Dog Walk Fundraiser early on Saturday to drive to Orange County before the shelter closed.

She arrived here on Saturday night, apparently in pain from a leg that was broken on either Wednesday or Thursday prior to being dumped at the shelter.

Off to our vet she went on Monday morning but our vet could only administer medication to ease her pain with a recommendation to see a specialist, which she did this afternoon thanks to another volunteer who just dropped her off in West Los Angeles.

Here's where you come in...
Diva is having emergency orthopedic surgery TOMORROW MORNING.

Estimate on surgery is no higher than $2500
Supplements are $80 per month

She has a chance to be a normal, playful puppy again and not suffer any longer.

We've got the passion, we've got the love and will give her the best care we can, where we are short is the funds.
