Bentley's Leg Repair

We've gotten a number of offline donations as well, so we've actually raised $1,250 so far!! I've reduced the amount of the chip-in by the amount of the off-line donations so you can get a better idea of our real progress.

The doctor wants to do the surgery on Thursday of this week - the 3rd - because she's worried about leaving the break for too long. Because of this, we're on a big push to try to raise the remaining $450. Please tell everyone you know and crosspost our original plea like crazy! Every donation of $1 and $5 really does add up!! Look what we've been able to do just since Sunday night!

Bentley and everyone at Puggles & Pitties thanks you!!

We got a call from our vet late last week...Bentley, a 3-yr old puggle, was brought in with a broken leg. The owner didn't have money to pay for the surgery and the owner was going to have him euthanized if they couldn't find anyone to take him on and get him the care he needed.

Well, we can't imagine putting down a 3 yr old dog for a broken leg, so we agreed to help. But now we need help helping little Bentley!!

Bentley needs to have his leg plated. There is some question as to whether this is an old injury that wasn't properly treated the first time or whether it's completely new. The girl who brought him in last week said she got him off of Craig's List just a few days before but apparently he had been to this vet with his prior owner because he was in their system and they do have a record of him breaking this leg previously. At that time it was splinted and he was put on crate rest. Now he needs the plate to make sure the repair holds.

Here's the estimate from Animal Medical Center for the repair:

We've created this Chip-In for Bentley's surgery and hope to have the money raised by Friday the 4th so we can schedule the surgery right away. The vet wanted to do the surgery last Friday or this Monday but we had to put the brakes on to try and raise the funds.

Thank you!!
