Samuel is a 7 month old German Shepherd Dog in San Jose, CA, who needs $2,000 for Orthopedic Leg Surgery.

So Samuel is a dog I rescued from Fresno along with 2 of his brothers. When I first got them they were severely under weight (skin&bones) and were terrifies of the world. All three has diarrhea and pooped and thru up the whole ride home. I was worried they might have had parvo. Today all three dogs are fully vaccinated and healthy as can be, aside from Samuels broken front right leg.

So Samuel is a full German shepherd, he's 7 months old and a big boy. He's giant compared to his brothers. Samuel got out of the house and ran into the street and got hit by an unknown car, and was left in the road until animal control came and locked him up at the pound for 3 hours without medical aid. 300 paid rushed him to VEG were they found he had a broken front right leg and would need srgry

I knew Samuel was special from the moment I saw him. He was massive in comparison to his brothers, and I'm talking about bone structure size. His paws were double the size of his brothers and hes built like a tank yet he is the most gentle, and loving out of the three. Always stealing kisses, super friendly and gets along with other dogs great. I wouldn't change a thing about him really

Ive had a German shepherd before that was plagued with the notorious GSD badhips and If I can't save Samuels leg from amputation and it happens to him he will suffer for the rest of his life because of it. Bad hips, 1 good front leg is a recipe for disaster. I can't fail him
