Titan!

Titan is the latest Dobe that needs our help. We learned of him through Betsy Dayton of New-Penn Central Doberman Rescue. Titan is a 3 year old black/rust male, owned and loved by Mr. Steele in Pennsylvania. Titan, along with a neighbor's Pit Bull got out of their yards and ran across the road. Both Dogs were stuck by a car. The Pit Bull was killed, and Titan suffered a broken front leg. Mr. Steele took Titan to the vet and paid $300.00 for the initial exam and X-rays, but was unable to afford further treatment, as he is retired and living on a very limited income.

The vet suggested that Mr. Steele turn Titan over to rescue and perhaps they could fix his leg. Mr. Steele was heartbroken at the prospect of turning his beloved Doberman over to a stranger, but was willing to do what ever it took to get him taken care of. That's where SND came in. We were contacted by the rescue group who was considering Titan, and they requested assistance with the bill. After further investigation, we learned from the vet that Mr. Steele has always taken excellent care of Titan, and that he is a much loved Dobe. SND has decided to help Titan to have the surgery he needs, and now he will be able to stay with Mr. Steele, in the home where he is happy and loved. Mr. Steele says that SND is a Godsend!

Titan's surgery will consist of installing pins and an external fixiture of acrylic. This approach is less invasive than attempting to install a plate, leaves no "hardware" inside, and is cheaper than a plate. Given that the break is next to a joint a plate would also be a problem to install.

We're asking for your help to make sure that Titan receives the surgery and aftercare that he needs. You can use the PayPal button to the left or you can mail us a donation. Also remember to check our Current Auctions page to see items we're auctioning off on eBay to raise money for Titan and our other Dobes with special needs. No amount is too small to help. Won't you please contribute toward Titan's care so that he can go back to being the happy and loved Doberman that he has always been.
