Noah is a beautiful 4-year-old German Shepherd dog who was signed over to the RSPCA Inspectors recently. He’s been brought into our care with all sorts of skin issues which are now under control, but he also has a torn cruciate ligament in his right hind leg which requires an operation.
This type of injury needs specialist surgery, which comes at quite significant cost. We have contacted local vets in Essex and the best price we’ve found is £1,700. Whilst this is a large sum of money, we believe this is the best option for Noah, who, like most animals coming into our care, has had a pretty lousy start to his life.
As an RSPCA Branch, like the other 150 around England and Wales, we’re a separately registered charity and we pay for the care of animals brought in by National RSPCA’s inspectors within our area. We don’t own our own boarding facilities, so we pay for boarding at Danaher Animal Home until animals are rehomed.
The money we raise through our charity shops and fundraising events cover our routine activities but when we’re faced with exceptional vet costs, we sometimes have to ask for a little help from our wonderful supporters.
Can you help us to get lovely Noah back on his feet this Noah-vember. Please donate what you can. Even a few quid will go a long way.
Thank you so much
