A FUNDRAISING campaign by Haverfordwest-based Green Acres Animal Rescue is hoping a badly injured dog’s story will end in a happy tail.

Young pup Rocky was brought in to Green Acres with a badly injured leg, and was facing a very bleak future.

Neyland-based Green Acres Animal Rescue Manager Mikey Lawlor wrote today, April 15: “Yesterday we took Rocky into our care. He is just a baby at 5/6mths old and was left at a vets by his owners as he had a broken leg. They said he had been hit by a car. They could not afford any treatment and his future looked very bleak.

“Thankfully a veterinary nurse reached out and the rescue world came together to get him the care he needed to survive.

“Greenacres, 8 Below Husky Rescue and Murphy's Army all rallied around and got him to us.

“This morning he was seen by our fantastic vets at Fenton Vets, Haverfordwest, and they advised an immediate operation, using external fixations to pin the fracture, helping it heal in the correct place.

“We, of course, agreed to this and Rocky is currently in with them having this done. The quote for this procedure is £1,300 so we have set up a Gofundme page to help raise this.

“Rocky is a scared yet sweet lad that has had an awful start in life, and to think that he nearly lost his life is just beyond belief.

“We will now ensure that Rocky's future is only bright, and hopefully with the expertise of our wonderful veterinary team he will have a fully functional leg again.

“Please, please donate if you can, every penny will help us reach the total needed. We know our supporters will come together again to help us save this lad.”

Thanks to kind-hearted donors, an incredible £240, and rising, has already been raised.
