Subject: Snookie's Broken Leg

Hello everyone,

Most of you know that I'm neck deep in Dachshund Rescue. Our group is NOLA Dachshund Rescue and we save about 60 dogs a year from certain death at high kill shelters. Doesn't sound like many considering that 4 million dogs are euthanized at shelters in the US every year, but when they are at your house .....well, it's a lot. Most of the time the adoption fees cover the vet bills but we've got special case.

A 12 week old long hair, Chocolate Dachshund pup was dropped by a little kid resulting in a broken leg. The owner brought him to the vet and when they learned that his leg simply couldn't be placed in a cast and required surgery to the tune of about $1800.00 bucks, they decided to euthanize him. Well, our vet, who they happen to bring him to, called us and asked if we could help by taking him in to rescue, getting the surgery and adopting him out. Being the suckers for a puppy that most of us are, we agreed.

The puppy had not been given any shots and was a little under weight. We've got that part under control. But the leg thing...ouch! So, Debbie and I are writing to ask for some help with surgery costs. We only have a window of about 2 to 3 days to get the surgery done. Otherwise, his leg may have to be amputated. We are coming to you with our doggie hat in our hand and asking for donations. Even if it's only a dollar or two, it adds up and is greatly appreciated! There are two ways you can donate.

OMG! And some people still say is BS that Dachshunds and small children don't mix!! Poor little baby, sending tons of for his recovery, although amputation is not such a bad thing (see my Sammy).

Here are rays for this pup--I'm sure he will get his funds. No matter how small the amount anything will help.

Mine mix just fine It's the lacking adult supervision that's the problem.

Off to make a donation for this little baby.

Also got a person from the UN in New York City to donate. It was sent to you via PayPal this afternoon. I am so worried about this pup! Where is he now? Is he on pain meds?

Last I heard he was in the hospital and being cared for. You would need to contact Phyllis at Funchesgirls@hotmail.com to really know.

I am Sax Lady's sister, Kathie, and a member of Doxie Lovers Club. My sister told me about poor little Snookie and I immediately sent a donation. I had a little poodle who at 7 months broke a leg that required surgery. After the surgery he healed so well and lived to be 12 years old. I pray that we can all work together to help this little pup heal and live a full and happy life.
