This beloved boy needs amputation surgery. Can you please help?

Jennifer, of JKRC Rescue, dog named Charlie, whom she has loved for seven years, was recently diagnosed with bone cancer.

Several weeks ago, Jennifer noticed Charlie limping. Then one night, he fell from the bed and would no longer put any weight on his right hind leg. She immediately brought him to her primary veterinarian, where they performed bloodwork and took X-rays. The images were sent to a radiologist, and it was initially believed that Charlie had suffered a fracture.

Jennifer took Charlie to see Dr. Miller at Eclipse Specialty & Emergency Pet Care. She arrived believing they were dealing with a fracture—but instead, she received the devastating news that Charlie has bone cancer.

Jennifer was completely blindsided. She broke down in shock, never expecting to hear those words.

But Charlie still has a strong will to live. He isn’t ready to give up—and neither is Jennifer. Faced with an unimaginable decision, she said yes to amputating his right hind leg to give him the best possible chance to keep fighting and enjoying his life.

Jennifer spends every day helping save dogs and supporting their foster families. And she and Charlie need all the love, prayers, and support they can get to surround them.

Please keep Charlie in your thoughts as he undergoes this life-changing surgery, and keep Jennifer close to your heart as she navigates this heartbreaking and unexpected diagnosis. Charlie is deeply loved, and we are all standing beside them through every step of this journey.

If you can help support Charlie's surgery by donating any amount, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
