They say "into each life some rain must fall" but I just can't understand the deluge of rain that's falling on me. Hello, friends, I'm Champ, a wonderful Golden boy weighing 86 pounds who's fallen on some hard luck. I'm only one year old; I should be having the time of my life. Things started out well for me as a puppy until my owner could no longer provide a home or care for me. I got taken to a shelter. I was devastated! Then AGB came and picked me up - what a blessing. The AGB volunteers have spent time with me and found out I like people and other dogs and I'm okay with cats. I'm a loving pup, heart worm negative and neutered and I like car rides. Altogether a perfect, beautiful boy for a loving family. But then the AGB vet discovered I have a soft tissue injury to my right shoulder. The vet has me on strict crate rest for the next six to eight weeks. Depending on my next MRI results, I might have to have arthroscopic surgery. I am so miserable doing nothing in a crate! I heard it's going to be very expensive for medicines and vet visits even before possible surgery. Would you please help a boy like me by donating to AGB? They want to make me well and happy so I can go to a new home, all cured, with my head held high and my tail awagging. Puppy hugs, Champ
