This grant was used to fund emergency surgery for a dog named Dagoo. He had an accident which severed several toes on two of his paws, requiring emergency surgery to remove them and repair what was left. He was rescued from the shelter and was very nervous and scared. He was in a foster-to-adopt situation when his foster allowed him to go on an escalator, resulting in his feet getting stuck. She immediately rushed him to the nearest emergency hospital, where he had several x-rays done to make sure everything else was okay. He needed a couple of bones in his foot removed, as they were exposed, and then stitched up. He is now healed from the incident and pain-free! Thank you so much for this grant!
