Sweet Rescue Dog Needs a Prosthetic Leg

When I left my volunteer position at Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary in September 2018, I made a promise to a very special dog named Fox.
Fox had been abandoned, tied to a pole, and hit by a car at just one year old; he lost his front left leg due to injuries. At Juliana’s he was guaranteed a life of love, medical care, food, and fellow animal friends. I was fortunate to be his primary caretaker when he was rescued a month after my arrival, and he quickly became my best friend.
Despite the cruelty he endured, Fox is one of the gentlest, most loving dogs I ever met. He’s successfully walked on three legs for seven years, but as he ages, a prosthesis would be helpful in reducing the pressure on his remaining limbs and giving him the quality of life he deserves.
Which leads back to the promise I made to Fox before I left the sanctuary.
I promised Fox I would take him home and specifically, that I would get him a prosthetic. Unfortunately, I was unable to adopt Fox and get him his new leg, but it is my deepest wish to provide this for him now.
This holiday season, please consider a donation to Fox’s prosthesis as a charitable good deed, a gift idea for yourself, or a gift in someone’s honor. No amount is too small!
I don’t need more material items, but I do want Fox’s needs met. If you too find yourself without a need for “stuff”, but have loved ones who want to spread holiday cheer, send them this link to give a very good boy the ultimate gift this Christmas. After all, what’s more cheerful than a happy dog?
Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary is in need of three other devices as well, and they have secured a $1000 per piece rate from a specialist. Every donation to this fundraiser goes to Fox’s prosthetic leg, and if we surpass the $1000 goal, surplus funds with be divided for Fox’s three friends at the sanctuary also in need of prosthesis or wheelchairs.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity this holiday season! If you’d like to support Juliana’s mission year round go to julianasfarm.org to sponsor an animal resident.
