CJ is a 4-month-old German Shepherd in Junction City , KS, who needs $2,000 for Surgical Repair of Fractured Femur.

My name is Chase Junior, but everybody calls me CJ. I'm about 4 months old, and a German Shepherd. I was born in Kansas and now I live with my dog dad and my human. I have a lot of energy, and I move very fast! My human loves me a lot,! I look a bit like my dog dad, which is why they named me after him. I'm going to learn stuff like my dog dad so I can help my humans and have fun!

I like to play and wrestle with my dog dad and tug his tail, even if it sometimes gets on his nerves . My human is teaching me to go potty outside and to do stuff like sit and lay down. I mess up but I try. He's is an Iraq veteran, and still in the Reserves, so I snuggle with him and help him relax after a long day at his jobs. There's a little hooman who loves me too. He's fun to play with!

At just about 4 months old, CJ likes to tug on his dog dad's tail, chew on anything and everything, and generally knows two speeds - full out, and fall over to sleep. He also has a thing where he likes to watch people wipe down the kitchen cabinets! No one is sure just why.....

I had a bad day today. I accidentally fell down the basement stairs. It hurt a lot. I cried, and my human helped me and took me to the puppy doctor, who said my femur was fractured and I'm going to have to have an operation to fix it. My human is waiting for the puppy doctor to get a referral to a puppy surgeon to do the operation. For now I'm home with pills so it doesn't hurt so much.

After a series of financial issues in the last year, some ongoing, along with injuring both of MY knees, my dogs are my greatest emotional support. Some people rescue dogs. My dogs rescue me daily. Please help me to get baby CJ back on his paws!
