Ryder Bogenschutz is a 9-month-old Beagle Mix in Fishers, IN, who needs $2,000 for Daily Oxygen and IV Antibiotics.

My husband and I had recently got married and thought what better way to celebrate than adopting a dog. After checking a variety of different shelter we heard a story about an 8 week old puppy with 4 BB gun pellets found throughout his body. We knew we needed to adopt him and give him an amazing life. He also has a big brother (dog) and 3 big sisters (cats) that he loves to play with.

Ryder has never met a person or animal he doesn’t love. He is also so snuggly and affectionate. He loves running around with our older dog and chewing anything he can get his paws on.

Ryder LOVES hard chew toys and playing fetch. He also enjoys chasing his tail when he feels it is not cooperating with him. Whenever he gets the chance to hangout in our backyard he goes on neighborhood watch. We know we are protected from all the leaves and squirrels that might make their way into our yard.

Ryder is currently fighting for his life from pneumonia and pulmonary edema. He also has a foreign body in his stomach which can’t be addressed until he gets better from the pneumonia. Ryder is currently being treated at the VCA emergency vet in Fishers, IN by Dr. Leto.

The treatment so far have cost around $15,000 and unfortunately he is still not out of the woods. Between the continued oxygen and IV antibiotics we will likely be look at at least another $10,000 and that’s before the scope to remove the foreign body.
