Forest is a 18 year old Poodle in Monticello, MS, who needs $800 for Forest Emergency Amputation for Back Limb.

Forest has beat the odds of SO MUCH in his life. From being found in the woods, to being spoiled rotten. Then, being attacked & paralyzed, to learning how to spinal walk. He has even faced his blindness with loving sounds and touches. Then the day came when his owner was no longer there for him. His whole world was gone. His momma passed away unexpectedly, and Forest was faced with euthanasia.

This past week, Forest somehow got himself in a rough situation. Laying in his kennel, in his favorite bed, he had shredded and tangled his paralyzed back legs. One to the point of it completely killing his leg. It wasn't until it swelled and turned black & rotten that we knew there was NO saving it. He was rushed to Animal Medical Center in Brookhaven Mississippi for emergency surgery

Forest may look old & "decrepit", as we hear all too often, but he is loved. His snuggles will melt your heart. His soft bark for your attention, and him following my voice, ensures he knows he is not alone. Each night I sing a special song dedicated to Forest, and he knows it is just for him. He settles ever so softly in our arms. He loves as much as we love him.

As with any unexpected emergency, it can cause financial hardship to ensure covering the vet bill. For rescues, it is equally difficult. Dedicated to help and always do the best for each dog, even Forest needed our immediate care. He loves life & is worth saving.
