>To: BOXER@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU
>
>As you know, the Boxer Rescue Foundation's "Toby's Gift Fund" helps
>individuals facing large, unexpected vet bills for their Boxer. No other
>such fund exists (that we know of). In helping these owners, we are also
>preventing yet another Boxer from entering rescue simply because an owner
>can't pay the bill and doesn't want to put his/her down down.
>
>The BRF has suffered in this economy just like everyone else and we
>recently got a request that tears us up. We simply can't pay the entire
>bill and we're hoping that we can get some assistance from the BML.

>Junior is a 4-year-old healthy Boxer - except for the two torn ACLs. He is
>in pain and needs the surgery. We have worked with the owner (a college
>student living off students loans) and he has explored all the vets in his
> area. The TPLO method is the one that will work with this particular
>Boxer due to the severity of the ACL tears. That, of course, is more
>expensive than the other methods, but it's what he has to have.
>
>The owner's relatives have helped with x-rays, pain medication,
>consultations, etc. and now they are tapped out. The owner has talked to a
>shelter and knows that the best for Junior is 1) surgery or 2) surrender
>him to a shelter so he can be fixed. He is willing to surrender in order
>to save the dog.
>
>Total cost of the surgery on both legs: $3,200. The BRF simply cannot
>pay the entire bill and we come to you in hopes of raising some of the
>funds needed. We hate to see this young man have to surrender the dog he's
>had for nearly 4 years.
>
>If you can help in any way, here's how you can donate:
>
>PayPal or Credit Card:

>Or you can send a check:

>P.O. 1203
>Newberry, FL 32669
>
>Just make a notation for "Junior" and your funds WILL go to his surgery.
>
>Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
