The title of HERCULES is not handed out to just any dog. We have had quite a few and they've always had two distinct similarities: mighty (in strength and spirit) and suffering a serious injury.
I wear a "Hercules" dog-tag around my neck to remember my first Hercules, who was adopted and loved completely by the Eastman family.
Our newest Herc has a badly broken leg which he's endured for the last three weeks. After a consultation with one of the best orthopedists in the game, it was determined the leg is not savable. The X-rays reveal a shattered leg which would be impossible to pin or plate back together. Amputation is our only course of action here and we at Marley's Mutts rely on your generosity to help cover these costs.
Marley's Mutts has three distinct programs to support--rescue/rehab, spay/neuter assistance, and Miracle Mutts--each of which require significant financial support. Your donations to dogs like Hercules help us focus on our programs while still being able to help special needs dogs. Thank you. We do not take your donations for granted and make sure its spent on these special needs dogs.
