Batty is a 4-year-old Bully Mix in Magnolia, TX, who needs $2,000 for Orthopedic Surgery.

Batty was found dragging himself across a street in Houston after presumably being hit by a car. The trauma he experienced left him temporarily paralyzed waist down. When his owner was found, they told us they did not want him back, which absolutely broke out hearts.

This defenseless and injured dog had no one and suddenly we had to be his hope. We're determined to see him through this.

Batty is a sweet boy who desperately wants to play with the other pets in our home. Unfortunately due his condition, he is restricted to his own bedroom that we call "the dog loft." We often pet sit and this room is the designated room for visiting dogs. Now it's Batty's suite. When you enter a room for Batty, he lights up, his tail dances and he yearns to give you kisses.

Despite the cards that Batty has been dealt, he has remained immensely loving since day one. He has all the reason to shy away from people and yet he leans into us like we've been best friends forever. Batty's ears say it all. When he is feeling his best, his ears perk straight up like personal antennas.

Batty has a pelvic fracture that needs surgery to relieve the pain he is experiencing and hopefully regain the use of his back legs. His prognosis is good; however, the surgery is going to be complicated. Luckily Batty is admitted to an animal hospital, where he can be seen by the orthopedic surgeons.

Batty came to us unexpectedly. The total estimate for Batty's surgery is $8,000. We have already used our emergency funds to cover $2,000 just to have him stabilized and hospitalized for the first 48 hours.
