Please Support Buster's Healing Journey

Meet Babe and Buster—a sweet, bonded mother-and-son duo rescued from the California wildfires. After surviving so much, they finally found safety at Reba’s Animal Rescue. But now, Buster needs your help to heal.

At just 2 years old, Buster lives in daily pain from a severely damaged front leg. Before his rescue, he underwent a failed surgery in Mexico involving an external fixator. That procedure left his right front limb unstable, painful, and unusable.

Since arriving at Reba’s, Buster has been non-weight-bearing on that leg. Exams by specialists revealed:

Severe joint instability and collapse in his wrist
Chronic pain and swelling
Progressive knee issues in both back legs (making amputation out of the question)
Muscle loss and tightness in several areas due to limited mobility

He’s undergoing physical therapy, acupuncture, laser treatment, and electromagnetic therapy (Assisi Loop), all of which are helping with his pain—but they won’t fix the root problem. Specialists recommend carpal arthrodesis, a complex surgery to fuse the bones in his wrist, stabilize the joint, and finally relieve his pain. Without this, his long-term comfort and ability to stay mobile are at serious risk.

The cost for surgery, rehab, and ongoing care is estimated up to $10,000. This cost is not easy for a rescue where so many other pets need resources as well.

Babe and Buster will only be adopted together—their bond is unbreakable. Your gift will help keep them together and give Buster a real shot at a pain-free, happy life. Please consider supporting his healing journey today.
