Dewey is almost 1 and was yet to find a home because of his disabled legs. He is now in a loving foster home and we are fundraising for his
Nationwide
I first heard wind of Dewey around 6 months ago and tried to find a home for him. Unfortunately no one wants to adopt a disabled dog who needs surgery, so I decided to rescue him myself and fundraise for his surgery so he can get the perfect home! He is in Auckland now in foster care with a vet nurse Alicia. He has the most severe patella luxation that the specialist has seen. He said the surgery was reasonably urgent to improve Dewey's quality of life; that we have an ethical obligation to fix him up or put him down. Euthanasia will not be happening under any circumstances, so we are raising the $10-12k needed for his surgeries (and maybe more in the future).

Update for 31/10/2014 31 October 2014
Sorry we haven't updated in so long. Dewey's first surgery went very well. He has had his 2 week review and everything is healing as well as we can expect :) He's back to physio and hydrotherapy this week and he will be reviewed every 2 weeks. Unfortunately because his surgery was worse than any other that the surgeon had performed, we can't fully predict the outcome. Everything is looking good so far though! We still need $3k for his second surgery (all of these funds go to his surgery, his rehab is being paid for privately).
