Scout McSwain is a 3 year old Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) in Berlin, MD, who needs $4,800 for ACL Repair Surgery.

Scout was found on Facebook chained to a tree. I notified the owner that I would pay to bring him too me. He agreed and Scout arrived a few days later. The bond was instantly. We named him Scout, because I was a Cavalry Scout in the Army. We have 2 other dogs and they loved him. Playing together all the time. I believed we rescued him from a life chained to a tree and I know his life is better.

Scout was running around one day and he started hopping on 3 legs. His left rear was barley touching the ground. We took him to the pet ER and they took x-rays and found he tore his ACL in his leg. It seams he is getting worse holding his leg up while he plays and go on little walks. We found a place (Maryland Veterinary Surgical Services) to preform his surgery for $4,800. Scout needs assistance.

Scout plays with Red and Tackle everyday. He loves to be chased around the yard. Scout is a Belgium Malinois that has one speed (full throttle). He always like to be petted by everyone in the house every morning. He gets jealous when I pet Tackel or Red and he pushes up to get attention. Scout is one of a kind. He get a ball and runs around the yard shaking his head around hard. Scout is great.

We are on a fixed income and it would take us over a year to save enough for Scouts surgery. We need to have this soon so it does not get worse. Scout and his family would love all the support you give him. It hurts me seeing him in pain daily. We need scout healthy again.
