She was brought to a shelter and about to be euthanized when a rescue picked her up.  Now the rescue group is trying to raise money for a necessary surgery before Jazzy can find a forever home.

00:00 Jazzy is about one and a half years old.

00:03 She came from North Central Animal Shelter.

00:06 This type of a dog doesn't really stand a chance in the shelter.

00:09 Hi, my name is Betsy Rue and I do all the rescuing for Dogs Without Borders Rescue and

00:15 this here is Jazzy, my latest rescue.

00:18 Jazzy was pretty much on the cart to be euthanized when I walked into the shelter to pick up

00:25 another dog.

00:26 She actually was an evidence case for animal cruelty because of her injuries.

00:31 She might have gotten hit by a car.

00:33 She was taken from her owners for neglect.

00:36 Her owners didn't take her to the vet.

00:38 So she had a heel like this and imagine how much pain she was in and sometimes it's just

00:44 amazing that she is still such a happy little girl.

00:50 Jazzy has two fractures in the front of her legs.

00:55 This one is actually broken in her femur.

00:59 You can see that it hangs, dangles right here where this one is straight.

01:04 She's actually using the fractured part of her bone to now walk on which is causing her

01:10 a lot of pain because she's rubbing this raw.

01:14 The other thing is that we don't know exactly how long ago this happened.

01:17 This is definitely an old injury.

01:19 She's got scars running down inside both of these legs.

01:24 So the vet approximates that it was probably at least six to nine months ago for her bones

01:29 to fuse the wrong way.

01:32 The surgery for Jazzy is more than we can afford.

01:36 I'm very happy that we have her and saved her life.

01:38 However, we're hoping that kindness of others will make it all possible.

01:43 I know that they have to break her already broken leg in order to repair it.

01:48 That's one major surgery.

01:50 The other one, I think they're going to put a pin in it just to strengthen it.

01:56 The surgery is going to cost roughly about $4,000.

02:00 And then she should need some rehabilitation.

02:03 But after she gets rehabilitated, she should be a completely healthy, normal dog and able

02:10 to use all four of her little legs.

02:13 So if anybody is interested in making a pledge and a donation for Jazzy, please go to www.dogswithoutborders.org

02:21 and click on PayPal Donations and make sure you make a note that it's for Jazzy's surgery.

02:26 Or you can like us on Facebook and make a donation through Chippin'.
