About this campaign

Early one morning a kind woman found Benji broken and bleeding, in horrible pain on the side of a busy road. His body was twisted, his legs were mangled, and blood had pooled beneath him.

The woman struggled to load Benji into her car, and raced the trembling pup to a vet, but it was still so early in the morning that the clinic wasn’t open. The woman was panicked because the pup was in pain.

The woman called our shelter and I immediately sent Benji to the Proctorville Animal Clinic. His injuries were severe.
The orthopedic specialist determined that his back was intact, but both of his hind legs were broken. One leg had an open wound compound fracture as well as two additional broken bones, and the femur was completely out of the hip socket on the other leg.

Benji’s condition is agonizing, yet even through the trauma, he looks up at his caregivers with trust and love as if he knows they’re trying to help him. Watching this sweet, brave dog suffer is heart wrenching. He’s barely a year old, just starting life, and now faces surgery, and months of rehabilitation and recovery before he’ll ever run or play again.

Benji’s care comes at a steep cost. Between extensive surgery, hospitalization, and post-op care, his total veterinary fees will far exceed what our small 501(c)(3) rescue can afford. We need your support to get Benji through this ordeal. Help us give Benji a chance at the life he deserves.
