This gorgeous boy is Joel, though you may have originally met him under
the name Rocky (which was his name at Cheatham County Animal Control) or
Robert (a name that floated around for him on the internet).
Joel is a new arrival to Noah's Ark Society, though we have been caring for him for about a week. Sadly, whomever owned Joel let him run loose, and Joel ended up having a collision with a car...he was injured, but lucky enough to have a second chance at life.
Joel was picked up by Cheatham Animal Control and then taken quickly by a Noah's Ark Society volunteer to the vet so an assessment of his injuries and a plan of action could be made.
On January 3rd, Joel became free by law to transfer to rescue, and immediately came to Noah's Ark Society. He is at the vet now with surgery scheduled for 01/04/12. The surgery is called FHO, and is an alteration of the broken femoral head on the him bone. It sounds painful, but it will allow Joel to regain full use of his leg and life a pain free life.
Here is a photo of Joel on his ride to the vet from animal control. His transporter said he was loving listening to classical music on NPR, and wagged his tail the whole time!
We DO have a foster home lined up for Joel, but is is needing your help with funding his surgery which will cost about $1500....and he is looking for a forever mom and dad. This big boy is a dream come true, and we want to do everything we can to give him the best rest of his life he could ever have!
