Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida, Inc. hasn't added a story.
We have two special boys who really need your help! Here at Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida, Inc, we do our best to improve or save the lives of any dog that comes across our path. This is made possible with the help of our passionate volunteers and through the generosity of donations. This campaign was created for two special doxies named Scooby and Roo. How cute is that? ... They are both going through completely separate emergencies and our goal is to raise enough money to pay for their treatments and give them a better quality of life!
Scooby is a sweet 2-year-old red, smooth-haired dachshund that came to our rescue in March. He loves lots of attention, playing catch, lounging in laps, and going on walks! Unfortunately, the woman that surrendered him had recently been diagnosed with cancer and could no longer care for him. Scooby’s foster mom took him to the vet, after noticing that something may not be right, to discover that he has a grade 6 (on a scale of 1 to 6) heart murmur. With such a serious condition for such a young boy, he was taken to a cardiologist and he was diagnosed with SEVERE PULMONIC STENOSIS and heart surgery (Balloon Valvuloplasty) was advised. Without this surgery Scooby will remain at high risk for sudden death or will have a significantly shortened life due to his condition. This surgery will cost about $3,000.
Roo is an 11-year-old red, smooth-haired male who loves snuggling on laps and playing with his toys! When he was surrendered to Low Rider we were informed that he had a back episode three years prior that was easily treated with medication and bed rest. Roo has recently had a similar, yet more severe, back episode that has affected his ability to walk properly and required surgery right away. We are happy to report that this surgery was done on 6/12 and Roo is recovering nicely and walking correctly! He also has a detached retina that had been left untreated so long that eyesight cannot be restored. We are unsure if he will require any future procedures such as eye removal. We will investigate necessary options once he has completely recovered from his recent surgery. Roo’s back surgery cost was $3,025.
We have merged the medical expenses for both Scooby & Roo to create a combined goal of $6,000. We are reaching out to all of our compassionate dog lovers to ask for help with reaching this goal. No amount is too small! We also want to thank those have continued to support our mission through donating their time, sharing and/or liking our posts, and contributing monetary donations. We would not be able to save as many lives without people like you!
