Rustu is a 11 month old Pekingese in Bryson City, NC, who needs $2,000 for Right Rear Leg Amputation.

Rusty was born june 28 2023 i picked him up from the breeder at age 8 weeks. I fell in love with him at first sight. He is very attached with me to the point he goes with to the restroom when I take a shower just to know where i am. Rusty and I have bonded from day one . He stays close to me all the time and comes to me when called. He was house trained after a month. My love for him is endless.

May 31 2024 he was hit by a car breaking his rear leg shattering hip bone fractured ribs and now has to have the right rear leg amputated. We took him and hour drive, which he was good and suffered the pain without a whimper, to South Asheville Veterinary Emergency Services (S.A.V.E.S) in ICU till stable then removal of right leg. He is under 24 hour care in ICU.

Rusty is a very loving dog he plays with his best friend a rat terrior dog and a car molley. He lets kids pull his tail and plays with a 5 year old girl often. At nite he laysp by my side for hours and sleeps at too of my head to be sure where i am. At all hours of the day he will jump in my lap and look me in the face while I rub him. He gets seperation anxiety if leave him at home.

Since I am on Social Security income is very limited. So $8000. Vet bill is extreme having no savings or other sources of income. Rusty is my joy and love and I need him as he is my best friend. I love my little guy dearly and praying for his return..
