Meet Sunny, a 9 month old German Shepherd cross who has seen more than his fair share of trouble in his short life.
Sunny was discovered by a concerned citizen on Thanksgiving Monday. He was alone and frightened and yet, as a tribute to Sunny's disposition, he was friendly and playful and very sweet. Efforts to find Sunny's people were unsuccessful. It seems that no one was looking for the pup. Because Sunny was suffering from an injury to his leg he found his way to HART for help.
Sunny was taken to the Apsley Veterinary Services where he was tended by Dr. Kim Facey and her fabulous team of animal care professionals. Since it was Thanksgiving Monday, Dr. Kim and her staff left family celebrations in order to help Sunny in his time of great need. Sunny and all of us at HART will not soon forget the kindness and dedication shown by such a willingness to sacrifice for the sake of Sunny. Radiographs showed that Sunny had sustained a serious and unusual injury to his leg. He was suffering from an oblique fracture to the tibia. Such a fracture is rare and likely caused by severe blunt force trauma to the tibia such as from a kick with a steal toed boot. We cannot be sure how Sunny ended up in his predicament, and since Sunny isn't talking, we will never know.

Sunny was running out of options. The only choices were euthanasia or an expensive surgery to repair Sunny's leg and therefore save his life. We think Sunny deserves to live a happy and long life. We, at HART, have decided to raise funds for Sunny's surgery and recovery. Sunny's surgical and recovery costs are estimated at $2000 and we are looking to you our animal loving friends in the area, for your support. Any monetary donation will be greatly appreciated! Dr. Kim says that Sunny should enjoy a complete recovery, and since he is so young, he has a lot of years ahead of him!
In addition to funding for Sunny's surgery, HART is looking for a caring soul who is willing to take Sunny into their home and foster him as he recovers from his ordeal. Sunny will require follow-up veterinary care for the next few months, every 2-3 weeks. For that reason, Sunny needs to be in a foster home where he can easily access Apsley Veterinary Services, or another one of the veterinarians who support HART's work. Ideally, a home where someone is there most of the day would ensure that Sunny is monitored during the course of his recovery. That someone could be YOU!Sunny and his friends at HART wish to extend our gratitude to Dr. Kim Facey and the staff at the Apsley Veterinary Services. Sunny has been treated like a king by everyone at the clinic. The staff has been taking shifts to monitor him and ensure that he is never alone as he recovers.
With your help, sweet Sunny will see nothing but sunny days ahead of him! To donate to the Sunny Fund Click Here and write 'For Sunny' in the message box. HART could not continue rescuing these deserving animals without your help.
