Copper is a 7 month old Mix-Breed in Athens, TX, who needs $3,000 for Open Reduction Internal Fixation.

Copper was at a rescue, the woman running the rescue was 8 months pregnant and attempting to clear all animals out before her new baby came. She had adopted out 22 puppies, he was the last, no one chose him. I took my 4 year old granddaughter to meet him, he lay on the ground and crawled to her, that was it, he came home. This sweet baby no one wanted.

Copper is a digger, he was in the back yard for about 45 minutes, the only thing we can figure is that he must have ran and tripped in one of his holes, he broke his front left elbow in 3 places. The choice is surgery which is $3-4,000 amputation which is $1,500 or putting him down. I can’t put him down.

He’s just a little mutt, he’s no special breed, but he’s the sweetest little dog, so affectionate. Will lay on the sofa watching tv with you, let the 18 month old granddaughter pull his ears, tail, sit on him. He’s been with us a little over a month and she’s his girl. The way she walks in saying cop-per.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2015 and Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2018, I manage, but to come up with this kind of money is impossible for me and it’s breaking my heart. I’d been looking at pet insurance, but I’ve only had him about 6 weeks,
