Give a golden a “leg” up – Help Tyger and Dakota have the surgery they need! Tyger and Dakota both suffer from torn cruciates requiring orthopedic surgery costing approximately $2500 each. Our “Give a Golden a Leg Up” fundraiser will raise funds so these sweet goldens can receive their surgery and go on to be adopted. Will you help us help them? |

They have each already had one knee surgery but our specialist has determined that their other legs need to be done. Not the news we wanted to hear especially given 2011 has brought many special needs dogs into our program that require extensive veterinary care. But, the only option for Tyger and Dakota to live a pain free life is with this surgery. They both have a great prognosis with the surgery and otherwise are healthy young dogs. Tyger (above and below top right), a 5 year old male was turned into rescue because his owner died. The family member who turned him in mentioned his torn crutiate as he had been diagnosed by a vet before GRRMF took him in but wasn’t treated for the condition. Our specialist determined that Tyger needed surgery on both legs. Tyger has had his first surgery and has recovered nicely. His foster home reports he is an amazing dog who is very smart. He has gone from a dog who would bark incessantly (from fear) when someone came to the door to one who greets the guest with woobie firmly implanted in mouth. He also knows that when other dogs come with the human guest, that the toys are put away and you play with your canine visitor! Speaking of toys, Tyger is so smart that when asked for a specific toy he will go and get just that one.
