Update: Rescue is hard, there are so many animals in need, so many obstacles placed in their path, often success seems impossible. But sometimes, there’s a story which restores our faith, allows us to continue. Makes the physical and emotional toll worth it. Daredevil, while not the first and won’t be the last, is one of those stories. In the middle of March 2021 we put a plea out for help for Daredevil, a very special pup who faced some significant health obstacles. Through the generosity of our JRs family of volunteers, adopters and supporters JRs was able to cover the cost of presurgical consults for two significant operations, as well as the medications for those and the follow-up testing recommended by the specialists. For this, we say “Thank you!!”. The surgeries are completed and the first step in Daredevil’s journey was done. The second step happened yesterday. JRs is so very excited to announce that Daredevil has found his furever! Congratulations to Daredevil and his moms Jessica & Carmella. Thank you to his adopters for loving him and making his heart full, thank you to JRs for never giving up on the “tougher” cases, and thank you to our supporters for loving DareDevil like your own!
Update: AMAZING!!! Thanks so much to everyone who donated so far. We're hoping to keep it going and fundraise above the surgery cost to help with medications he'll need for the remainder of his life.
Who says second chances don’t happen?
Meet Daredevil!
This adorable 4 month old American bulldog mix came into the loving hands of Rescue on January 9th. Upon first exam it was evident that he has several medical issues, including a life threating heart defect. On March 19th, 2021 he’ll finally get his chance at the surgery that will save his life. We are raising funds to help with the surgery cost and his long road of after care treatment.
As his foster Momma for almost 3 months, I can tell you that this little boy is a fighter. He had some problems walking early on and the doctors suspected hip dysplasia. After further review he has been cleared of that but he definitely has a different kind of walk. He falls easily and all legs separate. But he gets himself right back up and goes on his merry little way. HE LOVES his walks! You’d think a pup with a heart condition as bad as his that he’d tire and want to rest more on his walks. But he NEVER tires. He gets winded easily and sleeps a lot but he certainly doesn’t let his disabilities hold him back! He also has a very large umbilical hernia that is big enough for intestines to try to come through. Again, he doesn’t let this stop him from living life. He just can’t play as rough, even though he’d love to. He’s a good boy that knows his basic commands and just one look at you with that wrinkly puppy face of his, melts your soul.
Please have a heart for Daredevil aka “DD” and lets give him this second chance!
