Plea to help save rescued dog

Bonnie the dog suffered severe ligament damage Bonnie the dog suffered severe ligament damage

Funds are needed to help a dog who is close to having her leg amputated.

Stray rescue dog Bonnie was found wandering the streets of Eastbourne at 4am on January 5.

She was frozen, filthy and underweight and her condition was so bad, vets feared she wouldn’t survive 24 hours.

Having since recovered, vets have now discovered that the four-year-old has severe ligament damage in her back leg, which will need to be amputated.

Waifs and Strays, a stray dog rescue charity, needs to raise £600 for Bonnie’s surgery and has so far received donations of £400.

If you would like to contribute towards Bonnie’s surgery fund, visit the Waifs and Strays Auction Page on Facebook or call Amy on 07834 215868.

Poor dog - how can people let a living creature get into such a terrible condition? I will be donating.

As another story in the argus says ..

“”Animal bosses are to hand out pet food to people struggling to find enough money to feed their cats and dogs. “”

Surely it would be wiser and cheaper to put this dog to sleep , and to spend the money on the pet food needed to keep the other animals in their own homes.

NO it would be better to do both.

Never ever put a healthy dog down, and losing a leg is still healthy. It isn't life threatening.
