Joe is a 4-month-old Wired Hair Jack Russell Terrier in Miami Gardens, FL, who needs $1,000 for Elbow Dysplasia.

Joe is a Wired- Haired Jack Russell Terrier who came into our lives four months ago. When we got him. He was a timid dog , now he have adapted to his forever home. We have an older dog named Paris who is eight years old whom he likes to follow and learn the ropes of being a dog. Joe is a grandson to my older dog Paris.

Joe is a shy but he’s is very lovable. He’s a small dog with a big appetite.
He loves my son who he sleeps with a night. He love the outdoors. He loves to dig holes in the backyard and bark at other dog. He loves morning walks nibbling on toes.He love his chew toys and blanket. He loves to look out the window and bark at cats.

Joe is special. His hair is wild. He has the most beautiful eyes that change colors. He love to gnaw on his chewing toys, loves to dig holes in the backyard, run behind rooster and birds and loves belly rubs. He loves to eat out of his grandma food bowl. He’s the new member of the family but he’s adjusting well.

About two weeks ago Joe jumped from the couch. Initially I thought I was a sprained paw . We went to an animal hospital where they discovered via X-ray that his elbow was broke. We went to get a second opinion it was the same. . Both provided us with anti-inflammatory and pain meds but the second vet put him in a cast. He needs the surgery to be able to put his paw down and not walk with a limp.

I just gained employment after losing my job due to the pandemic. I have money saved but not enough to cover all if Joe’s surgery. I’ve tried reaching out to animal rescues and resources but no one could help. I just want my dog healthy and running around the yard again.
