Beyond Rescue, Inc. hasn't added a story.
UPDATE: It is with a heavy heart we tell you that Nipsy did not survive the surgery. His little body could not handle the stress. The 3 hour surgery went well and was successful, so the doctors were very surprised when he fell into shock and could not be revived in the recovery room.
We were all hopeful, but knew it was high risk, and once the doctor's went in they discovered his organs were more compromised than originally thought. They worked their magic, and carefully repositioned everything and were satisfied with the results. But in the end it was up to Nipsy's body to pull him through, and it was just too much for him.
We are all heartbroken but grateful to have had this chance to do everything possible to help him. We couldn't have done it without your support - THANK YOU! Your financial contributions, love, and prayers were felt, and we can all take comfort in knowing that Nipsy got the chance to feel loved from his foster family before he passed. We will be bringing Nipsy's ashes home with us, and he will never be forgotten!
------------------------------------------
Nipsy is a cute little 2 year old corgi mix that was saved by our rescue (Beyond Rescue is a non-profit all-breed dog rescue in the San Francisco Bay Area). After pulling him from the shelter it only took a couple days before he found a great adoptive family. However, the night before he was expected to go to his forever home, Nipsy’s foster noticed that he had labored breathing. She wanted to make sure Nipsy was healthy and took him to the vet. After an exam and X-rays we received the worst news possible.
Nipsy has been diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia, an abnormal hole in his diaphragm that allowed his organs to shift into a cavity near his lungs. It was likely caused by a trauma like being hit by a car. Without surgery Nipsy can’t survive. The vet was shocked he's still eating and drinking!
Nipsy is young, he’s friendly and most of all he has a family ready to love him forever. We are a small organization and every decision we make is in the best interest of our dogs. We just can’t accept that limited funds will prevent Nipsy from having a long healthy life.
We are asking for YOUR HELP TODAY! Nipsy needs surgery ASAP and we have a vet willing to do it at a discount. $2,000 will cover the cost of this life-saving operation.
We’ve set up this fundraiser for donations specifically for Nipsy’s surgery. Please contribute whatever amount you can and SHARE our post in support of Nipsy. With your help Nipsy can be healthy, happy and home with his new family!
