Please Help Casper Get His Leg Fixed

Hi, this is (now) Casper,

He came into our care a few days ago after being found abandoned in a crate in some woods. No bedding, no food, soaking wet and freezing cold, simply dumped and left to die.

He is approximately 4-5 months old and best guess would be a Lurcher / Labrador cross.

He is somewhat emaciated so needs feeding up and MOST IMPORTANTLY has a somewhat deformed ankle joint on his front left leg. He has been checked at Springfield Vets today and as we suspected it would appear that it has been dislocated or brocken and has not been treated so therefore has not healed correctly. He is going for Xrays tomorrow to ascertain the full extent of repair needed.

Luckily, it can be repaired, but is likely to need an operation and possibly plating.

He is a beautiful lad, with an amazing, loving nature. He has settled in with our 5 dogs very quickly, is taking on toilet training and learning his name. There is no doubt that he will make an absolutely wonderful companion to the right person, he is fun, soft and very loving. (Our hearts want to keep him, but our heads are saying we are at capacity with 5 already)

So, the situation is this:

We are going to "foster care" him until he is fully fit and well and the leg is fixed, then we will seek the right home for him. We are funding as much of the care as we can..

However, we really need our fellow dog lovers support!

We all recognise vet bills for such repairs are not cheap, and although Springfields vets will offer some support, we NEED TO RAISE UP TO £2000 to cover the cost of his leg repair and having him neutered.

(All funds raised will be used for Casper's care)

It seems that Casper's start in life was a harsh one, he must wonder what kind of creatures us humans are, that can leave him injured, cold, wet starving and alone to die!

Please help us to prove to him that most of us a decent, with a true love for our dog friends by making a donation, however big or small to his care, we cannot do this without you!

On behalf of Casper, I thank yo/u for taking the time to read this a for helping in anyway you can!
