My Best Friend Punkin needs surgery

My dog Punkin is a 3.5 lb 11 year old yorkie, he was injured last Friday when a mastiff stepped on him.
This dislocated his leg from his hip.
I took him to an emergency vet to the tune of over $1200 which I gladly gave my last dollar with the hope he would be taken care of. However they were unable to set his leg back into the hip joint. I took him to my regular vet today and he will need surgery to repair his leg.
I have only had Punkin for a year, I rescued him from a breeder who thought he was to old to continue breeding for her. Even though I have been his family only a small part of his life I love him with all my heart, and want to make his golden years the very best.
Both vets said he is in great health other than his leg and some very bad teeth which I would love to have taken care of at the same time.
I have listed my fundraiser for only 1/3 of the cost of surgery, I am doing everything I can to raise the other money, I am hoping to sell things around the house I can, and work saving my own money as well. I just do not think I will be able to raise everything Punkin will need in time and he deserves the very best I can give him. I am employed and work hard every day, just being a single Mom it doesn't allow for me to have a big savings for emergencies, and thank the Lord they do not come up often.
I promise every dollar kind folks find to pledge now for Punkins much needed surgery I will save and repay by making a donaton to our local animal shelter to hopefully help the next little guy in need.

thanks and God bless

Funds Needed for German Shepherd's Hip Surgery & Care

Funds Needed for German Shepherd's Hip Surgery & Care

***************Calibre is a WONDERFUL German Shepherd that has been a very loyal family member for 9 years now needs surgery to prolong good health. He has been slowly having issues with his hips and would benefit from this surgery. We are trying very hard to get the funds together. He is in great health and this will add years to his life without discomfort. We need to raise around $1200.00-$1500.00.....thank you all for any help.

Thank you & God Bless

Please pass this around to everyone that you know.

More of the story since people are asking: This dog has been a loyal family member for over 9 yrs. They recently had a premature baby that almost died a few times. She has since been allowed to come home only after the Doctors told the family that the dog must go. The hair & dander is dangerous for this little baby. This family sent out a plea for help and no one stepped up....he was bashed too for giving up his dog. He tried rescues and shelters only to be told NO....who wants that old dog and one that is showing age in his hips. He is healthy as a horse otherwise. He is very loyal indeed.....he has already taken his place at my home protecting & serving my family. OH getting ahead here......My family had been looking for a dog when we saw this plea.....We are Christians and had lost our son at birth 9 yrs ago..so we knew what emotional roller-coaster this family was going thru. We felt a connection and reached out to them. Yes he is a bit older that did not matter....he is TERRIFIC!!! The owner drove over 1 1/2 hrs to bring him to us so that we could meet. His daughter got to come home and is doing well-so far. We only pray she continues. In the meantime they accumulated a million dollars in hospital bills and are trying to pay for that. We confirmed thru our vet that surgery would be an option to give him comfort & continued mobility in his later years. This owner was not given much hope for his best friend and was thinking of euthanizing him to be sure that he was in a better place than with the wrong family. We stepped up and are now his new owners. We adore him and he is loyal to us. This surgery is costly and we had hoped that people still cared enough for their fellow man & beast to help. I know that many of you would not have been so harsh if this was an animal cruely or neglect case that was in the news asking for donations. You folks are very twisted & two-faced. The dog cannot speak for himself so we must. If you can help-Thank you tons....if not-that is fine----no need to be ugly. We will keep working our JOBS (as many of you have said we are not) and in hopes of raising some ourselves. Thank you for the others that can assist & blessings for it.

Please help Griffin get his surgery

South Portland, Maine family needs your help for dog’s surgery:

We have a beloved 4 year old shepard mutt, needing cruciate tear knee surgery costing $1,300-2,700. (He is scheduled for consult and xrays on the 17th and outcomes of that will determine actual cost.) Any donation you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Griffin is our son’s best buddy and was injured as a pup by aggressive dogs at the beach. His knee rallied for quite some time but has now worsened. Our vet assures us that with the surgery Griffin will have a long and lively life. In the current economy, some may question this huge expense for a pet. Our son who is 5 years old has special needs and has already lost a close animal friend he depended on. (His therapy horse at a riding facility.) We're hoping that with your help we can avoid adding any further losses/challenges to his already full plate. Griffin is gentle, patient and absolutely suited to life at our home. It would be more than we could undertake to try "replace" him with someone new.

We have always been committed to being lifetime owners of any pets we’ve had, and this is the first time we’ve had to ask for assistance to care for them. Our current economic situation is compromised due to serious health problems and the economy downturn, otherwise we’d fund this entirely ourselves. Thanks to kind donations collected at local pet stores over the holidays, we have enough to fund the consult & x rays. Since Fundable accounts are for 25 days and only pay out if the goal is reached, we are setting a hopefully reachable goal of $500; but ultimately we hope to raise close to the full amount.

Griffin is the most amazing dog--absolutely phenomenal with kids. We want to give him every chance. We hope you agree. We got Grif at Christmastime in 2004, and having this surgery would be our family’s present for many years to come.

Thank you very much for any help, from all of us.
Griffin's people
