George
George is a 7-year-old Chihuahua in Kentwood, MI, who needs $2,000 for Luxating Patella and Torn ACL Surgery.
Kentwood, MI • Pet Tales Rescue
George was abandoned in an apartment after his previous owners moved out. He was taken to Kent County Animal Shelter and later pulled by Pet Tales Rescue. It was discovered that George not only has luxating patellas on both knees but also due to his poor diet that caused significant weight gain, George also has a torn ACL ligament in his left leg. His surgery for just his one leg will cost $3500.0 George is probably the easiest foster that I have had in my 15 years of rescue. George is very easy going, gets along great with the other 4 dogs in my house, including three other littles and a 70lb dog as well. George has to sleep under the blankets at night and has to be right up against you. He loves his fuzzy blankets. George is housebroken as well. George gets along with all the dogs. George does love his treats and his fuzzy blankets. George is just a very friendly little dog that makes a great pet for anyone. He does tilt his head to the side when you are talking to him that is so adorable. He also has picked up from my other dogs that every time I walk out to the kitchen I must be getting a treat for him and the other dogs. George was not taken very good care of and has had poor nutrition from his previous owners. This resulted in George being significantly overweight which caused his current health issues. George has luxating pattellas in both knees and a torn ACL in his left leg. His surgery for just his left leg alone will be $3500.00 We are a small non-profit pet rescue that has spent over $20,000 in major surgeries and sick pet emergencies since January 2023. This has caused Pet Tales has to go on a intake hold for any pets requiring any significant vet care.
Prince
Prince is a 1-year-old Poodle in Kentwood, MI, who needs $2,000 for Surgery For a Femoral Fracture.
Kentwood, MI • Pet Tales Rescue
Prince was surrendered to Pet Tales Rescue not because of his behavior but due to a congenital anomaly – a dislocated hip. The breeder's expectations of perfection could not be met and he was no longer wanted. Through further diagnostics, the x-rays revealed not just a dislocated hip, but a severe fracture in the femur. "After a long day of endless phone calls to numerous specialists and surgical centers, many refused his case due to the injury being a week old." says Kathy "Finally, one hospital decided to take on the challenge and quoted us $4500." Prince has been suffering in agonizing pain for over a week, and the rescue team is desperate to get him the surgery he needs. He is the sweetest, gentlest boy you'd ever meet. Just celebrating his first birthday, he had already stolen the hearts of everyone who encountered him - humans and canines alike. Fortunately for him, luck came in the form of rescue and fortunate to have escaped a life of confinement and breeding. Once recovered and healed, he will make the best companion. Pet Tales Rescue was able to save Prince from his former life of breeding and neglect, but unfortunately his surgery and rehabilitation needs are expensive - far too much for them to bear on their own. They are a non-profit rescue who relies solely on the kindness of others through donations. Please consider a donation towards Prince’s medical care, and keep this sweet in your hearts as he prepares for surgery.
