Healthy and Adjusting Well to Life on Three Legs
After chasing a cat over the backyard fence and into the road, Chopper was hit by a car, which caused paralysis in one of his legs. Due to his age, the family vet initially recommended minimal treatment; however, over time, Chopper developed an awful infection, as a result of licking his wounded leg, which made amputation unavoidable. His loving owner, a mother of two college students, was able to pay for Chopper’s x-rays, consultation, and a portion of the cost of surgery, but after exhausting all other resources, contacted ART for assistance with the remaining $398 needed to pay for the procedure. ART was able to raise the remaining funds for the surgery that eased Chopper’s discomfort and ultimately saved his life.
