FBCAS Volunteers hasn't added a story.
My name is Michelle Camp. I have volunteered with Fort Bend County Animal Services in Rosenberg, Texas for the last couple of years. Myself and my fellow volunteers Stephanie Ayers, Kim Stegman, Janet & Dave Gura and Allison Marlow all work as a team to save as many animals as we can. We all have different volunteer roles and when it's down to the wire we really bust our butts and most of the time come out triumphant.
We we have a special boy in the shelter. His name is Roo. He needs a hero.
Here is a video of him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtML9OkkYok
He is a 9 month old, neutered, pit mix who came to our county kill shelter in late May. He was probably taken away from his mom too early. His front legs didn't grow properly, probably due to starvation, so he hops a lot instead of walking or running. People that see Roo at the shelter say he seems to be hopping less now, than when he first came in. Hopefully that is due to the better food he has been getting from Stephanie, the volunteer that has been working with him. The vet said that he may grow out of it with exercise and good nutrition. Roo is a happy, healthy boy. We can't accept that euthanization is the only answer for him. He loves to chew on and shred stuffed animals. Loves to snuggle and get attention, and can run and jump on things just like any other dog, only he hops a lot while doing it. Roo didn't ask to be in this position, and it's not his fault that he is the way he is, his owner is to blame for that. We need to help him get a chance at having a good life, a happy long life that he so much deserves. He's just a 9 month old pup who needs a chance.
We are raising money for the rescue that pulls Roo and saves his life. Rescues mostly run on donations and the more we can raise, the more likely a rescue will offer to take him into their program. He will need some vet care for his legs, probably some training and depending on where the rescue is, transportation. That all adds up - this is to help.
We thank you in advance for anything that you can do to help.
