NALA Seeks Community Support to Pay $5K in Medical Costs for Rescued Dog
Now named Max, this German Shepherd was found as a stray in Wichita, KS and given only three days before being euthanized, but Nebraska Animal Loving Advocates (NALA, www.nalarescue.org) rescued him and is seeking community support to pay for about $5,000 in medical costs for lifesaving surgeries and procedures. X-rays show clearly that he has a broken leg, and his left leg bone is not in the hip socket. Currently with a caring foster mom, Max will need a femoral head ostectomy to remove the head and neck from his femur—or an amputation. His leg has been broken on the growth plate for at least a year, resulting in pain as well as muscle wasting and calcification of the bone trying to reattach in the wrong place. Max has a long road ahead of him, plus steep medical costs, but NALA will not give up on him. He is a sweet 2-year-old who deserves the good life.
The mission of Nebraska’s Animal Loving Advocates educates people about the dangers of puppy mills and the realities of backyard breeders. If you are interested in donating to help pay Max’s medical expenses, please visit www.nalarescue.org.
