Bear is a 2 year old German Shepherd Dog in Grand Saline, TX, who needs $8,000 for Bone Fracture Repair.

Bear, wandered into our Texas home in May 2024, a casualty of Canton’s First Monday puppy mill. He stole my heart from day one, becoming my shadow, helping with chores, and greeting everyone with licks of love. He’s the gentle leader to Jack, a boxer dumped last October, and two pups left at our creek before February’s freeze. Even our pup Piper adores him! Bear’s our glue, but he needs our help.

Bear has a butterfly fracture, likely from Jack and the pups roughhousing. It needs a special bone plate, which our vet and their surgeon lack. Dallas Vet Surgical Center offers the best shot at securing the plates and ensuring healing without complications. This complex surgery could cost thousands more than a standard procedure, and Bear will need strict post-op confinement and top-notch care.

Bear’s a compassionate, loyal companion. He helped steady me during my meniscus tear recovery; now, he leans on me. Gentle with all, he’s always ready with kisses. Even in pain, his tail wags, eyes shining with devotion. He’s family, from greeting guests to splashing in our stock tank. I hate knowing he’s hurt—he’s our happy welcome wagon, and we need him back to his playful and healthy self.

Bear’s fracture blindsided us. We’ve covered his and Jack’s neuters, treated the abandoned pups’ mange, and gave them their shots, but this surgery’s thousands we didn’t plan for. Helping Bear means our home’s happy helper keeps wagging and leading our pack. Please donate!
