We have achieved our goal for Bodie's surgery! Thank you all so much! Some wonderfully generous people have pledged their help to pay for Bodie's surgery. We are very grateful for this much needed support!

Bodie (aka Porter) is an extremely sweet, amazingly accepting, and quiet little fellow. When we rescued him, he was on "the list" to be put down that same day, with no other options except us. Several people who saw him at the shelter asked us to save him. When he arrived, we noticed that he was holding a rear leg up much of the time. An x-ray of Bodie's leg revealed a very old and badly broken leg, that must have occurred when he was still a growing puppy. Bodie's currently about 1 year to 18 months old. The leg has not grown properly and the vet recommended surgery, which he estimates will cost $600 to $800.

The day we rescued him must have been a very confusing and stressful day for him. Yet, when he was poked and prodded by the vet, each time he quietly tolerated all the indignities without complaint, and signaled his forgiveness with a low wag of his tail to his handlers. Bodie is wonderfully easy going, calm, and patient, not to mention, great with everyone, including cats, dogs, and children.  On his first night in his foster home, they found him sleeping with the cat!

Please help us pay for Bodie's much needed surgery. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. If everyone who reads this contributes a little - even $5 or $10 - towards Bodie's surgery, we should collect enough to pay for his procedure. As a federally approved 501(c)(3) organization, donations to our rescue are tax deductible. We will keep you updated on this little guy's progress!

We teamed with Countryside Rescue to save Bodie and get him the help he needs.
