Scout is a 1-year-old Coon Hound in Mechanicsburg, PA, who needs $2,000 for a broken leg.

We rescued Scout on March 13th. Scout was born in Kentucky and ended up in a kill shelter in NC likely due to trauma to his front leg/paw. Fortunately, a rescue in MD was able to find him and provide a foster. When we adopted this guy, we were told that the rescue would pay for his surgery to repair his injury, but they are now unable due to the cost of an arrival of sick pups from TX.

Scout is now 10 months old and is an active, otherwise healthy puppy other than his leg. He loves to go for walks and go counter surfing. Scout loves our children as well as everyone in the neighborhood and they all love him too. Our neighbors from both ends have told us that he can hear his vocal chords quite often!

Chesapeake Veterinary Surgical Specialists estimated that the surgery will cost between $5,000 and $7,000. We are willing to put in a sizable amount towards the surgery but are unable to fund the majority. We want poor Scout to be able to enjoy a normal, healthy life.

Scout broke his front right leg/paw at a young age. This poor guy was given no medical attention which has led to a severe bowing of the leg and a fusion of the growth plate. He has been a patient at Chesapeake Veterinary Surgical Specialists in Townson, MD where he had a CT scan. He was also set for surgery on 5/26 before the adoption network had to withdraw funding.

Scout is full of emotion. He loves to give hugs and is eager to be heard. He is very curious of odd noises such as that from a bread maker. He will stair for minutes on end at a sprinkler moving up and down. Scout also plays well with his four-legged buddy Blu, a young Chihuahua. He loves all dogs and is usually eager to show off.
