Sport is a 5-year-old Shepard in Tacoma, WA, who needs $1,800 for Palpation of Right Stifel- Drawer Motion Mild Joint Infusion.

Sport was listed on my neighborhood watch as a found dog contained in their yard. I responded within the hour, but the people had already taken him to the humane society! I promptly went to humane society and claimed him. Started a local campaign to locate owners to no avail. Got him neutered, and the vet told me that he had been on the run for some time. His nails were so short from running.

Sport has become are best friend and more importantly my other rescued dog's best friend.
Our local veterinarian has given us hope that we won't have to put him down. I have rescued dogs my entire life and with help, continue to do so. I am 65 and have the place to do so. They are loving souls.

Sport was afraid of any loud noise and had horrid separation anxiety. Having two other rescued dogs helped a lot. Soon he was looking out for and protecting the small dog. Now he is the commander and chief of the entire yard, no trespassers here. Except for the darn fireworks that scare him bad enough to plow through a wire fence. Ripping 2 ligaments in his leg.

New Year's nite the fireworks started about 8 PM, at which time we went into the garage and started a fire with the tv on loud. About 3AM the fireworks had subsided, and I took the dogs out to pee, that is when a mirage of mortar type fireworks exploded. Sport tried to run through a wire fence, getting his hind leg caught up in the fence. The estimate to repair his leg is $6282

Since my cancer surgery a few years back I am unable to work and waiting for my SS to kick in. Sport has helped me tremendously. We all love him tremendously too. The last thing we want is to have to put him down. He is young and vibrant with a lot of love to give.
