This is Felix.
My step-daughter forwarded the following email from one of her friends, who is also a dachshund lover.
Howdy everyone! You know what am animal lover I am. I am on a list serve for a dachshund club and rescue in LA and the following tragic case has come to my attention. Usually, if an animal is older or very badly injured it may be kinder to put them to sleep but this dog is young, was hit by a car, suffered a broken leg and, if this is corrected, will likely be adoptable to a loving home and enjoy a good quality of life. Since there is no Bill Gates among us, the money for the surgery (estimated at between $4000 and $ 6000) will likely come from many small donations. If any of you feel the spirit to make a small donation to this cause, it would certainly be something worth considering. Hope you are all well.
Felix is currently at Southern CA Dachshund Rescue. Down at the bottom of their page, there are directions for making a donation.
Donations for Felix can also be made at Wiener Wonderland.
THANKS!
