Charlie’s legs evidently were broken at some point in his life. They were never repaired. They healed incorrectly, which made walking very difficult and painful. Charlie’s back leg was re-broken and pins were placed in it to secure it and help with proper healing. Unfortunately, one of the pins shifted, so a second surgery has occurred. Without this grant, we would have had to euthanize Charlie because of lack of funds to care for him and his extensive medical needs.

From his foster mom Shari: “Charlie had two surgeries. The first one didn’t work as well as we wanted. Charlie ended up moving a pin and breaking part of the bone, so a second surgery was needed. I have attached that picture. He is doing so great now. He barely limps, and loves to run and play with the other dogs. There is no real follow-up needed. I do want to bring him in one more time to make sure that his band is still okay. Charlie is VERY active and even though he is healed, it will ease my mind.”
