Buddy's toe update

Update: Dr Carr just called and after they knocked him out for surgery he was able to examine him better and he says that there are tumors all the way up his leg and he says that he doesnt think amputating his toe is going to make any difference and amputating his leg is to aggressive since it’s already spread to his lungs. There isn’t anything he can do for him. He doesn’t have a lot of time. I’m so so sad! This sucks.

---

I’m at Dr Carr’s this morning with Buddy to get his toe amputated. Thanks to the Love and Care of his foster parents, Niko and Deanna Huffman, Buddy’s foot looks a lot better already.

They were able to get most of the swelling down which will make it much easier for Dr Carr to do his job. I think he will feel much better once this tumor is gone. Our plea for funding to help pay his medical bills only brought in under $200. His surgery and after care is going to cost us thousands, so again, I ask you to consider helping us save this very sweet boy’s life and give a little this holiday season so we can give Buddy and other Rotties, the medical care that they desperately need!

Meet Buddy

We just rescued this very handsome — but dirty and injured — baby boy. I picked him up on Friday afternoon and we’re now at EVE Pet Hospital getting his paw and leg checked out. I’m praying it’s not cancer and that we won’t have to amputate!

I called him Buddy, and he seems to respond to it already. Despite being in obvious pain, he is one of the sweetest, most trusting Rotties I’ve met in a long time! Buddy wandered onto someone’s porch today and decided that’s where he’d stay. The homeowner had to catch a plane at noon and didn’t know what to do with him, but thankfully, her neighbor (who I’ve helped with other Rotties before) reached out for help — and now Buddy is safe with us. He’s in the back right now having his vitals taken. Please keep this sweet boy in your prayers!

Do I hear someone on the other side of this door?

💖 Adoption Announcement! 💖

🐾 Richard and Alicia Isaacson have officially adopted their foster dog, Luci (short for Lucifer)! 🐾

These two have been such an incredible part of our Rotten Rottie Rescue family. After losing their beloved Rosie a couple of years ago, they opened their hearts and home to several of our dogs by fostering Traz for about eight months, then Skittles and Kit Kat, and most recently our sweet Novah, who sadly passed away from cancer last month.

Just a couple of weeks before saying goodbye to Novah, they welcomed Luci into their home as a foster… and as it turns out, she was meant to stay. ❤️

We couldn’t be happier for Luci and the Isaacsons — what a perfect match! 🐶✨
