[Dailydrool] SENIOR HOUND NEEDS HELP!!!

[Jess'e Potts...Basset Rescue]

HHBR was contacted by a rescuer in the Newton, IA area that there was a 10
year old male Basset at the local euthanizing shelter & wanted to know if we
could help pull him and take him into our foster care program. We of course
couldn't resist the face of this sweet old man & his story like most set our
hearts afire in our goal to help him. Floppy was surrendered to the shelter
after being with his family for 5 years, they were moving & could not take
Floppy, but conveniently they could take the other dog in the family, a
young male lab. At the age of 10.5 he was sitting in the shelter for almost
a month before anyone knew about him. His love & dedication to any human
never wavering, as long as we have laps he can crawl up into he is happy as
can be. 

Floppy's Photos can be seen at the link below (WARNING he's one HANDSOME
hound!!)

HHBR put Floppy into a foster home, the next morning he went to see a local
rescue vet & had wonderful results, except for the Dr noticed he had a Grade
3 Heart Murmur. So we set off for the Cardiac Specialist & today Tuesday
1/25 floppy was diagnosed with Dilated cardiomyopathy. DCM is a disease
characterized by dilation or enlargement of the heart chambers and markedly
reduced contraction. The Dr said with medications & no other complications
Floppy could live another 3-4 years & so we're hopeful this sweet old man
will live to see his 13th Birthday, a regal age for a graceful old soul. Now
here's the difficult part, the vet bills for Floppy are sadly mounting, at
this moment his vet total is up to right around $600.00 & he still needs a
dental & will forever need his heart medications. We're kindly asking for
donations to aid in the vet bill's for Floppy's care. 

Donations can be made either by the Chip-In page or donations can be made
