Jimmy

So Jimmy/Rat/Baby Rat (sung in Baby Shark format) is a hard luck little puppy, other than the fact that he is in rescue. He is one we need help with. For starters, rather than being a beautiful Dalmatian, he is a beautiful mixed breed puppy (read in, hard to adopt). Second, this puppy had major trauma - maybe hit by car - before we got him. Rescue puts us in strange situations - Willing Hearts is primarily a Dalmatian rescue, but when other breeds fall in our lap, we are all human and want to help. Look into this guy's eyes and tell him he isn't good enough because he doesn't have spots. ?  We couldn't do it. So little Jimmy got extremely specialized surgery to repair a hole in his diaphragm. He was on strict rest while he recovered and he did great - breathing normally, eating normally, dewormed to get rid of all the parasites in his GI tract... But as he got stronger and started playing more, it became apparent that he didn't move quite right with his back legs. After a new set of x-rays. we discovered he also had a broken pelvis.  He has an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to go over options on July 11th. Jimmy gets around well, but he has trouble with stairs and sometimes his back legs cross. We are curious to know if this is something he can live with or if he will need yet another surgery. We would greatly appreciate any donations to help cover costs and any shares to help this sweet pup get more attention. He is going to make someone a great dog - he is around kids and cats and other dogs - and he is just a chill little dude. Thanks for not over looking a sweet soul.  If interested in adopting Jimmy please fill out an application at www.whdr.org
