Poor, precious Manny. Manny is one of the most recent additions to Pitty Love Rescue. He is a wonderful pup with an unfortunate condition. At some point when he was younger, he most likely suffered some sort of injury to his front legs. Combined with malnutrition, this has resulted in his front legs being deformed.
Even after being dumped on someone's porch then being brought to a shelter, Manny is as sweet as pie and just wants to play like a normal puppy. Here's some more information about Manny from Pitty Love's webpage and facebook:
"Please meet Manny. This is a hard video to watch as his two front legs are severely deformed... For now his legs don't seem to slow him down but they are affecting other ares of his body, so that will change. We realize this is a tough case but this little guy is SO sweet, we couldn't NOT give him a chance. His spirit is so bright!..."
"Manny went to see a specialist last week about his legs and the Dr. who saw him is very confident he can help Manny. It will take major surgery but it will also give Manny the ability to walk upright and get around a lot more normally. Many people may ask us why. Why this little dog? Our response? Because he is sweetness defined and he deserves his chance! Manny was once someone's throw away but he is now and will always be part of the PLR family."
Description of the surgery:
"Essentially sections of bone need to be removed from each leg so they can put plates in place of the bone. This will allow Manny to stand upright and walk around a lot more normally... We realize this surgery is extensive and expensive but the specialist is essentially doing the surgery at an extremely reduced cost. The chip in amount includes surgery, weekly bandage changes for 8 weeks, and follow-up x-rays. Any amount donated will be completely appreciated, $1, $5, $10, no amount is too small! Please consider helping Manny!"
