Pups pain free life

Roczen (originally Jobe) was rescued by Ruakaka Dog rescue along with his siblings. He had a rough start to life but was nurtured by his foster mum until he was ready to find his future home with his human brother (2) and human sisters (6&9). He enjoys his cuddles and loves to be by our side all the time, even stealing all the room in their beds at night.

Unfortunately he suffers from serious Elbow Dysplasia in his 2 front legs that causes him a lot of pain. Running in our paddocks and playing with the kids can cause him to become lame.

He is on anti-inflammatories, joint supplements and a high quality diet.

The vets said he needs urgent surgery on both elbows to remove the detached bones and flush out all the pieces that are around the cartilage. This will relieve the pain he is in and give him a chance to live out his days chasing the kids around.

The initial surgery is $3000 and then $8000 to complete it.

Unfortunately we can not afford this but are doing everything we can to raise the money.

Any donations will be very much appreciated by all that have met this gorgeous and happy boy!
