Tucker was hit by a car. A stranger then dropped him off at a veterinarian office. The vet proceeded with an exam, xrays, splinted his leg and decided he would have to have his leg amputated, so he took him to the shelter, of course get rid of the problem, not fix it. A person then came in to the shelter and adopted Tucker. Tucker had a chance, you would think. The new owner determined Tucker would cost too much money and brought him back to the shelter. Aftter a current evalution from the shelter vet, it has been determined that Tucker's leg is fusing and most likely will not need to be amputated but it is not certain. This is where we come in. We received a few emails from a shelter worker with a plea begging to save this little guys life. We are in no position to take in any more rescues at this time, due to our lack of funds but I went to the shelter today and rescued Tucker. I couldn't stand it, I couldn't get Tucker out of my mind. He is 1 1/2 yrs. old, he is neutered, and fully vaccinated. He is now in the home of one of our volunteer's. His leg is not healing straight. He is very playful, friendly, bounces around and doesn't seem to realize he has a splint. Unfortunately, he will be needing more medical attention, this journey is not over for Tucker. He will be seeing a vet this week to evaluate the status of his leg, amputation still has not been ruled out. If you would like to donate toward his medical expenses it would be greatly appreciated. Below is a Paypal button made just for Tucker, and of course, we always accept checks!
