Help Jax Recover After Being Hit by a Car

Jax is one of the coolest dogs the rescue has ever had! He is laid-back, happy about everything, and friendly to everyone—adults, kids, men, women, dogs, and cats. He truly loves them all.

Jax has no teeth, so his tongue is always hanging out, giving him a uniquely adorable look. But as a senior dog, finding the right home can be difficult, and Jax has now been at Chessed Foundation Rescye for almost six months.

Unfortunately, over the past month, Jax has started showing his age and exhibiting the beginning signs of dementia. Then, last week, something terrifying happened.

During his usual 6 a.m. walk with his foster dad, a loud noise suddenly spooked Jax. He pulled the leash from his dad's hand and ran into the street. The noise was coming from a car speeding down the road, and the car ran right over Jax. Thankfully, Jax mostly went underneath the car.

His foster dad immediately rushed him to the emergency hospital, where Jax received a full examination, X-rays, and ultrasounds.

Thankfully, Jax's injuries were limited to a bruised hip and road rash. He is expected to make a full recovery, but the emergency visit and care resulted in a veterinary bill of more than $1,400.

After everything Jax has already been through, we are asking for help covering the cost of his emergency care.

Any donation toward Jax's veterinary bill would be deeply appreciated and will help ease the financial burden of this unexpected expense.

Thank you for helping this sweet senior continue his journey toward the happy, comfortable life he deserves.
