Peggy Shafer Wood hasn't added a story.
After an abusive first two years of life, Oscar found his forever home with us 5 years ago and has made great progress. Now he's suffered a setback - he can't walk and needs a $6000 surgery. We will never know Oscar's whole story, but he had been beaten, abused, and came with a host of issues from submissive urination to extreme separation anxiety.
Oscar is full of love and energy. He loves people, chasing squirrels, balls, and his biggest love is swimming! In one short day, Oscar's world has changed. He has suffered a common dachshund problem with his back, and his only hope now is IVDD surgery. The sooner Oscar can have the surgery, the better his chances for a full recovery, before there is permanent nerve damage. He has lost the use of his back legs and probably can't feel them, either. It started as a normal day going to the dog park, and without warning he suddenly just started wobbling and then couldn't walk at all.
We feel like Oscar has suffered so much already in his previous life, he deserved a quick recovery now. He absolutely hates being crated, which is how he must stay right now until he can have the surgery. The only other choice is for us to put him down, which is our very last resort.
We are hoping we can find 550 people who will donate just $10 and then Oscar can have his surgery and hopefully his life back. Can you help Oscar walk again?
