Vegas had been using her crippled leg a lot and one of the bones was about to come through the skin. Lesa wasn't sure how she would be able to raise that much money, but she knew that there were people and rescue groups out there that would rally together and help this poor puppy. Within a day or two the money had been raised! There are so many generous people who opened their wallets to make sure Vegas got the surgery and care she needed to be a happy puppy again, free of pain.
When at last she was allowed to, she raced full throttle around the grassy yard with a huge smile on her face! This is the first time since she was 8 weeks old that she has been able to run like that, free of the horrific pain that her leg used to give her. Once "caught" she looked up into her foster Mom's eyes and stared at her as if to say, "Thank you so much, that was just soooooooo much fun!" Lori says, "Vegas is enjoying herself like you could not believe. Today she took off across my 5 acre farm and I was hard pressed to stop her. It was sheer joy (and fear) to watch her. The first time in her short life she felt no pain."

When Lesa asked us for help, we said, "YES" of
course. Vegas is going to have the best
rehabilitation that money can buy. See the ways you can donate here |
