Rubble is a 7 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback in Tampa, FL, who needs $2,000 for Amputation.

We have had rubble and his sister since the day they were born(we own the father,and the mom lives across the street). He loves playing with our daughter who is crazy about him, he waits for her at her bus stop everyday after school. Rubble was shot with a bb gun by one of the kids on our neighborhood,it shattered his elbow,and now he has to get it amputated. He is a part of our family.

We desperately are in need of help to pay for the amputation before his elbow starts to get infected from the inside out. The other option would be the get rods put in his arm which would be a lot more money and I feel that option would be very difficult due to the fact we have the other puppy and the dad. Rubble is in pain and is suffering.

Seeing rubble have to stay inside and watch his sister and his dad play together from the window kills me. He seems so depressed,and even tho it's hard to think about the fact he is just a pup losing a limb, I feel like there's plenty of 3 legged pups out there who have happy healthy lives. I just want to see him happy again.

After Helene and Milton came through our town and nearly destroyed everything, flooding our home. We don't have much left but each other at this point. I would hate to have to separate from rubble and find someone who will be able to financially take care of the surgery.
