Adam Ant's Second Chance

Hello, everyone! Little Adam (Ant!) here. I’m a handsome young boy of about three years with a bright future ahead of me … unfortunately, I have some obstacles to overcome first to get there.

I arrived at animal control as a stray in mid-October when I was found injured. I had a really bad case of road rash, and at first, they thought just my left hind leg was injured. Upon further examination though, they discovered I have a broken pelvis. Ouch!

I need orthopedic surgery, which means I need a rescue with a fabulous surgeon who has performed miracles with other dogs like me. Enter Georgia Jack Russell Rescue, who has a heartstring history of putting little guys and gals with injuries like me back on their feet — and off and running to their forever homes.

They picked me up from Lifeline in DeKalb this morning and took me straight to Lithonia Animal Hospital to await my surgery. I am a little scared and a little “moany” because of my condition, but they assure me I’m going to feel better soon. Of course, it won’t be an easy road — or a cheap one.

My surgery is an expensive one, followed by lots of skilled TLC and physical therapy. But if all goes well (like it has for the ones before me), I should be ready to go home with someone in a few months.

The rescue and I could really use your help with my vet bills. They will be large, but we have done this before with your help and we know we can do it again.

As always, we will keep you updated here with my progress and let you know when I’m available for adoption.
