Jax
Help Jax Recover After Being Hit by a Car
Boca Raton, FL • Chesed Foundation Rescue
Jax is one of the coolest dogs the rescue has ever had! He is laid-back, happy about everything, and friendly to everyone—adults, kids, men, women, dogs, and cats. He truly loves them all. Jax has no teeth, so his tongue is always hanging out, giving him a uniquely adorable look. But as a senior dog, finding the right home can be difficult, and Jax has now been at Chessed Foundation Rescye for almost six months. Unfortunately, over the past month, Jax has started showing his age and exhibiting the beginning signs of dementia. Then, last week, something terrifying happened. During his usual 6 a.m. walk with his foster dad, a loud noise suddenly spooked Jax. He pulled the leash from his dad's hand and ran into the street. The noise was coming from a car speeding down the road, and the car ran right over Jax. Thankfully, Jax mostly went underneath the car. His foster dad immediately rushed him to the emergency hospital, where Jax received a full examination, X-rays, and ultrasounds. Thankfully, Jax's injuries were limited to a bruised hip and road rash. He is expected to make a full recovery, but the emergency visit and care resulted in a veterinary bill of more than $1,400. After everything Jax has already been through, we are asking for help covering the cost of his emergency care. Any donation toward Jax's veterinary bill would be deeply appreciated and will help ease the financial burden of this unexpected expense. Thank you for helping this sweet senior continue his journey toward the happy, comfortable life he deserves.

I got Ozzie in 2013. My old manger had both of his parents and one day told me he would soon have puppies. When they were born he was the one who stood out bc he was jet black. Later his brindle stripes started to come in. I named him Ozzie after Ozzie Smith growing up a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan. We currently have 3 dogs and he’s the old man of the group Ozzie has recently been found to have a heart murmur and two growths. One on his leg and the other on his foot/toe. The one on his foot has recently opened up and we are having to have it removed via surgery but not sure how in depth they will have to go. Having a heart issue also makes the anesthesia difficult. Ozzie is literally the sweetest dog and has been his whole life. He grew up around both my niece and nephew. He also has been a consistent part of my life even during my struggles with drugs and alcohol, and now a part in my recovery, sober 8 years now. Needless to say my priority was not always him during those times but it is now. I recently was forced to change positions at my job due to a change in our company which came a significant pay cut and me and my girlfriend recently found out we are expecting our first child and just recently purchased a new home.
