Bradford Jack is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in WHITESTONE, NY, who needs $2,000 for surgery.

Just days ago, Bradford Jack was returned to the care of NYC Second Chance Rescue under heartbreaking circumstances. His adopter was facing a crisis at home and made the difficult decision to surrender Bradford Jack so he could be safe. What happened next made that decision even more significant.

Before Bradford Jack returned to rescue, he got into the trash and began vomiting repeatedly. His condition quickly became concerning, and his rescue team rushed him to the veterinary hospital.

X-rays revealed a linear foreign body lodged in Bradford Jack’s gastrointestinal tract. This is a life-threatening emergency. If left in place, a linear foreign body can cause severe intestinal damage, including tissue injury, perforation, infection, and potentially fatal complications.

Bradford Bradford Jack is already severely dehydrated, and right now, he isn't stable enough to safely undergo anesthesia.

His veterinary team is working urgently to change that. Bradford Jack is receiving IV fluids and medications to stabilize and rehydrate him. As soon as he is strong enough to safely undergo anesthesia, the veterinary team will perform surgery to remove the foreign material and assess the damage it may have caused. There is no time to waste.

And while Bradford Jack is fighting for his life, we want to make one thing very clear: we do not blame his adopter. Domestic violence can force people into unimaginable situations and impossible choices. Bradford Jack's adopter made the heartbreaking decision to get him somewhere safe while navigating her own crisis. She didn't stop caring about him—she made sure he had people who could protect him and get him the emergency medical attention he needed.

Returning Bradford Jack may very well have saved his life. Now, NYC Second Chance Rescue is fighting to save him once again.
