"BIG RED" Needs BIG MONEY for an OPERATION

Yes, I know. The need to help animals who have been injured, mistreated, or have ailments that require expensive medical care recently has been massive.

But if we don't try to make things better--if we sit and do nothing--then how will we stand before God and explain to him how we chose not to reach out to a thing that he created, that he gave breath and life to, that can love and feel pain--something HE MADE FOR US????

BIG RED is one of God's creatures in NEED of medical assistance.

This year old,Mastiff mix pup found his way into the loving care of the Humane Society of Dover-Stewart County a few weeks ago.  You may remember that the Dover HS were the ones who helped save a couple of sweet hearted pit bulls named Naome and Angel from meeting an untimely end from being dumped on the roadsides of Stewart County. Both animals were eaten up with mange, which required intense treatment that PET LOVERS LIKE YOU stepped up and helped fund.

Naome and Angel went on to be healthy and happy--and ADOPTED! The same was hoped for BIG RED. But when Red arrived, he was terribly under weight and a bit banged up. It soon became obvious he was broken in more ways than one.

 Red was limping and favoring one of his back legs. A trip to the vet and a round of X-rays  determined it's cause.  At one time, Big Red had been injured severely, perhaps hit by a vehicle or abused in some way. But whatever the cause, since his injury his hip joint has been bone on bone.

You can imagine how much pain this precious dog has been in.  Pain is a funny thing. It can crush a spirit--it can cause an animal to be honery and defensive. But this courageous animal has held on, hisgentle demeanor and  loving eyes still aglow with something that he needs now more than ever: HOPE. Red has always had a kiss and a somber look for anyone who  offered him a gentle touch.
The volunteers of the Dover Humane Society have extended their hand to this creature to assure him that  WE CARE and that everything is going to be OK.

Right now, the estimate on a hip surgery to help BIG RED is 400 to 500 dollars. He is being treated by the same wonderful people who took care of Naome and Angel--the North Stewart Vet Clinic at 1613 Hwy 79 in Dover.

So once again, I send out the call for help. We have a animal who needs to be able to walk again without the grinding PAIN that is destroying whats left of his hip. We need to raise that 500 dollars, and assure that this creature of God will walk again.

PRAYER is still the base of all things of this matter, and I ask that anyone who would, include RED and this cause in your prayers. If God did not mean for him to live, he would not have led him to this group of loving people so that his life could be saved.

But yes--I'm going to ask again---that  those who can donate to his surgery.
FIVE DOLLARS is all I'm going to ask for. It fits ANY budget--and hopefully--it won't put anyone in financial despair.
BUT THIS TIME--theres a catch. I want every one of you who feels the need to give to help RED, to reach out another person with his story, and ask them if they can help too. If we reach 100 people--we CAN HELP RED $5 dollars at a time!

Reach out your hand in faith to this dog who needs the ability to walk without pain again. In prayer, in donation, and most of all--in love.
With God on Red's side, I believe we can do this.
