Sammy

ADOPTED

Hi my name is Sammy. I am about 6 years old and for some reason my last family did not collect me from the pound after the ranger found me roaming the streets. The pound staff could see that I had something wrong with my back leg, and this would mean that I would not pass the rigorous health check applied to pound dogs here in Victoria. My only hope was to be taken by a rescue group.

Luckyily for me Rigbys Rescue works very closely with the pound I was in, and they could see that I am such a good dog that one little sore leg shouldn’t stand in the way of me finding a new home.

Rigbys Rescue has already provided all my basic vet work which includes – desexing, microchip, C5 Vaccination, heartworm test, flea treatment, worming, and heartworm treatment. To find out what was wrong with my leg I also had some x-rays.

It appears my problem is with my hip. Luckily this can be fixed! However it is quite an involved surgery and the cost is quite high. Our vet has given us a good discount on the surgery and the quote has come in at $700. After this operation I will fully recover and there is no reason why I can’t live a full and happy life.

Rigbys Rescue is now fundraising to help me get my operation so that I can find a new home. Would you please help out? I am such a friendly little dog and I love people, especially children, and I like to run and play with other dogs. If you have a lovely warm home for me where I can return all your affection and be the best companion you could ever have, please contact Rigbys and let them know!
