Bear is the most handsome boy, all of three years old with a long life ahead of him, and he was brought to his vet to be euthanized for - you guessed it, IVDD. 

Bear had a stroke of luck in that the vet clinic where his family brought him to be put down had an angel in its midst, her wings hidden under her scrubs.  Bear’s Angel knew there was no reason that Bear needed to be put down, and she took a huge gamble in that she convinced the family to surrender Bear to her.

The good news was that she had saved Bear, and the clinic and the Vet that Bear’s Angel worked for went above and beyond in providing the best care for him that they could, but she knew that the only chance Bear had to walk again was surgery.

Bear’s Angel started reaching out to rescues, hoping for someone to take him in.

As you know, while there are a lot of doxie rescues in Florida, the list that will take IVDD dogs is pretty short.

Us.

Bear’s Angel sent a “Hail Mary” email sharing how sweet Bear is and how he deserves a chance.

Bear was way out of our area.  We just barley funded Lupita’s surgery, but then we saw his photo.

A perfect Chocolate little man who had lost his legs, lost his family, and without his Angel being there that day, would have lost his life.

Bear’s Angel was willing to drive to get him to us, and so she did, for many hours to get to “DRSF Territory” and then two other legs to get Bear to Miami, where he will go to MRI and then hopefully to surgery if he is candidate.

We are exhausted and we know you are too.  We have asked for A LOT.  We will keep going as long as you make it possible for us to keep going. 

We are back on the hook for another IVDD case and our miracles have been built on small gifts.  If everyone gives just a little, we know that we can help Bear and be ready to be that safe landing spot for another little one who has lost everything and, but for the help of an Angel, would have lost their life too.    Thank You!!!!
