***UPDATE***

Say hello to Andy.  Andy is a sweet and loving boy with a mega problem.  He has developed a bi-lateral peritoneal hernia. A peritoneal hernia occurs when the muscles and tissues in the pelvic floor weaken, allowing organs such as the bladder, rectum, or intestines to protrude through the anus.  This means Andy has great difficulty eliminating his stool and may have difficulty urinating as well.  This can be a death sentence if not addressed ASAP.

We reached out to our favorite surgeon at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, Dr Jill Sammarco yesterday and have Andy on the surgical schedule, but the cost stands in our way.  Almost $7,000.   Before you fall over, this addresses all of Andy's issues in one surgery.  It will cover the bi-lateral peritoneal hernia, a neuter and the large lump on his front leg.  Of course there is hospitalization, pre-op x-rays and lab work.  The best news is that Andy has an excellent prognosis and will go on to have a great quality of life.   It all begins with outstanding medical care and that all begins with your support.

What do we do now?  A pre-op medical protocol is in place and we are keeping a tight eye on Andy for signs of emergency, but your help is desperately needed today.  We have hope, but remember, nothing is free to the rescue and leaves its mark and its cost. Without support from kindhearted people like you Andy stands no chance of recovery, never mind have a quality or live a pain free life.  Please consider him and make a difference today.

This is a very special case and we know the DRBC Gang can make a difference for this little one. It is going to take a village so tell your friends, share the story and let’s raise as much as we can!  Andy really needs you and we are begging you...make that difference now!

Remember, generous support is desperately needed and greatly appreciated.  Like many non-profit organizations DRBC is a 501[c][3] operated solely by volunteers.  We have been dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, re-homing and educating families about this breed for over 40 years.  We welcome and need your benevolent tax-deductible donation.  Please, help us to help them. 

We welcome you to stay tuned for updates.  Until then, Andy, all the rescue doxies and the DRBC Team thank you.
