About this campaign
Boogie is so happy and full of love he doesn't know his legs look a bit different than other Labradors. Stop the Suffering rescue calls him an amazing and resilient boy.
"He was abandoned by his owner. Most likely because his front legs have a deformity," Lynne A., with the rescue, tells Waggle.
The rescue brought Boogie to Met Vet Columbus. The orthopedic team found Boogie has angular limb deformity, where his ulna and radius didn't grow at the same rate they were supposed to. Now the nonprofit group wants to get Boogie's legs fixed, and they need a lot of financial help!
"Angular limb deformity is treatable with surgery," Lynne says. "Without it, Boogie will have constant pain and weakening in his limbs. It is a difficult and complex surgery; however, according to the specialists, Boogie is healthy and can tolerate this."
Not having the surgery is heartbreaking to the rescue, who says Boogie is full of love and has a zest for life in that way only Labradors do!
"You wouldn't know that he has a disability because he loves to play," Lynne adds. "His tail never stops wagging, and he offers up non-stop kisses and belly rubs. He is a wonderful boy and will make a family very happy. Boogie is one of many who deserves to live out his best life."
