The Second Chance Fund has admitted Jimmy, a 3 year old M/N Retriever/Shepherd to our program.
Jimmy has a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee which will involve surgical repair. We need to find a good foster home that would be willing to keep Jimmy for the next few months as we work through management of the lameness, surgery, and
recovery. Post operatively, we will need rehabilitation until he is sound (possibly 6-8 weeks) at which time he will be up for adoption. He will need a strong foster parent to help him get around and restricted activity. He is very good with walking on a leash!
Jimmy has a very sweet personality, calm demeanor and eyes that are soulful! He is
gentle and loves attention. Part of the expected task of the foster family is to help us evaluate his personality and advance his training. The foster family can return him if it is not working out and, per Second Chance rules, has first dibs on adoption. All expenses of the surgery and during the foster period will be covered by The Second Chance.
