Shady needs surgery to fix his cruciate ligament

Shady is an 8 yr old German Shepherd X who came into our care after being taken to a vet clinic to be euthanized as his owners were moving house. A vet nurse stepped in and saved his life. He is such a gentleman that it's hard to believe he has been through 7 different homes in his lifetime and through no fault of his own. We thought his struggle was over and we were looking forward to finally being able to give him somewhere to spend his golden years.... then last week, the vet diagnosed him with a ruptured cruciate ligament. He needs surgery to fix this but without the funds we are lost as to what to do as our vet account is too high to extent it any further. We need your help. Until he receives the surgery, he will be on pain meds to help keep him comfortable and he will also be on strict rest.
