Vlady's Life -Saving Surgery

Vlady is a great German Shepherd that has an unfortunate injury from a time before we rescued him. Not only is he a great companion but also an amazing therapy dog for our son who has Autism. 

When we adopted him, he slowly developed a limp and our veterinarian discoverd a growth (sequestrum)
 within the bone in his front leg from an old injury that is becoming infected. We were so grateful to discover that the problem is FIXABLE and will return him to a NORMAL quality of life!!!
The only problem is that this particular surgery costs over 3 thousand dollars and we cannot afford it :-(

We are looking for anyone who is willing to help Vlady and his recovery to a better life - and a life where he can be there for our son who has taken to him with great love. Vlady makes a huge difference in his life and brings comfort to him.

Thank you for anything you can donate! We are so indebted to your help!

Vlady and the whole Gilson family.


This is the hidden infection in Vlady's bone :-(


The infection is breaking through his skin - we are doing our best to keep him comfortable and keep the infection down.



He loves our son! He always waits for him to get home so they can be together. 

Vlady is more than a therapy dog - he is family.
