Wonka Blue Needs Your Support

Help Wonka Blue Along His Healing Path...

Rescue dogs can't catch a break! Poor Wonka is having neurological issues, affecting how he moves his legs and causing him trouble when walking. With extensive diagnostics, his veterinary team recommended an MRI, which is not cheap! Wanting to give Wonka the best quality of life, we of course obliged, but he needs more care and/or surgery in the near future. The specialists have found a substantial lesion along his spine, which could definitely be causing his lameness. Thankfully, Wonka is in a loving foster home that dotes on him and provides the supportive care he needs. Can you help us make sure that Wonka gets every ounce of medical care that he needs, too?

Wonka Blue is receiving specialized care at Guardian Vet Specialists at 4 Hardscrabble Heights, Brewster, NY 10509. Please see the attached pictures for his medical bills and imaging. His total bill is $2,853.

Wonka's story: Poor Wonka was found as a skinny stray on the city streets and brought to the Animal Care Centers of NY. The stress of the shelter exacerbated his underlying medical issues, where he displayed difficulty walking and even collapsed multiple times. Because of his medical issues, Wonka was at risk for euthanasia. He was rescued in May 2024. After being rescued, initial vet visits ruled out other causes (e.g., injury) and luckily Wonka found a dedicated foster and some great foster siblings to snuggle with. Wonka wasn't dealt a very fair hand in life, but AmsterDog Rescue is determined to make the rest of his life, the BEST of his life!
