Raven Was Bleeding. There Was No Time to Wait.

While her family was at work, One by One Animal Rescue received an emergency call about Raven, a one-year-old German Shepherd who had been hit by a car.

Raven’s injuries were far more serious than a typical broken leg. Her fracture was open, with bone protruding through her skin, and she was actively hemorrhaging. Thankfully, the person who hit her immediately rushed her to Proctorville Animal Clinic.

Raven’s family was already facing incredibly difficult personal circumstances. When they learned she needed emergency orthopedic surgery and an extensive recovery, they made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her so she could get the care she needed. But there was no time to wait for fundraising.

Dr. Dyer knew he had a small window to repair Raven’s leg. With exposed bone and continued bleeding, delaying surgery could cost this young dog her life. So he saved her first and worried about the rest later.

Her surgery was successful, and Raven is now recovering. Dr. Dyer has generously helped make her care affordable and is keeping her at Proctorville Animal Clinic for the first two weeks so she can be closely monitored.

Now it’s our turn to help Raven. We need to raise $2,500 toward her emergency surgery. After those first two weeks, she’ll still need approximately six weeks of strict activity restriction and continued care. Without an appropriate foster home, One by One may also need to cover her boarding during that time.

There was no opportunity to fundraise first. There was simply a young dog bleeding, a veterinarian who could save her, and a tiny window in which to act.

Dr. Dyer chose to save Raven. One by One chose to stand behind that decision. Now we’re asking you to help us give Raven the chance to heal.

Every $5, $10, and $25 donation brings her closer to the safe, happy future she deserves. And if you cannot donate, sharing her campaign is another great way to help.
