Bradley is an eleven month-old Hound mix in Ossining, NY, who needs $2,000 for urgent surgery.

Bradley was abandoned in rural Alabama when he was just a few months old.

"He was forced to fend for himself in a cruel world," Lisa S., with A Good Dog Rescue, tells Waggle. "When he was finally rescued off the streets, he was dumped in a high-kill shelter. He was at risk of being euthanized due to lack of space, but we scooped him up just in time and transported him to New York."

Soon after he arrived, his fosters noticed he was limping. The rescue brought him to Family Veterinary Care, and X-rays revealed his gut-wrenching backstory.

"He had multiple BB bullets lodged inside his leg and was possibly hit by a car, causing extensive damage to his hip that requires femoral head ostectomy (FHO) hip surgery," Lisa says.

Now the rescue is asking for your help raising the money for Bradley's operation. They say though they can't erase his hideous past, he's the sweetest boy who deserves the most beautiful future.

"Bradley never wastes a moment sharing his appreciation with everyone he meets," Lisa says. "He gets along with every dog and human, always excited to meet new friends, including kitties! He has contagiously positive energy and makes everyone fall in love with him. He loves to play, cuddle with his humans, and would fit right into a loving family."
