Jasper Needs His Hip Fixed!

April 23, 2010
Posted by Leah Stern

Just look at Jasper's sweet face!  This photo was taken while Jasper was still in a rural shelter in WV.  With only a few days left to live, Homeward Trails scooped Jasper out and brought him to a foster home in the DC area.  Jasper's foster mom just adores him and noticed his limp as soon as he arrived.  It turns out that Jasper has some very old leg injuries, probably sustained from being struck by a car!  This poor boy has been in pain for quite some time!

The vet says that during his accident, Jasper's hip was dislocated and the knee on his other leg was fractured.  The knee has healed okay, but Jasper needs surgery to set his hip back in place so we can relieve his pain!  Jasper will never be a running partner, but he will live a long, healthy and comfortable life - can you help us to get Jasper the surgery he needs?
