WE DID IT!

Thank you to everyone who has helped support Emmitt's journey! Emmitt is scheduled to start Physical Therapy at the end of October. We greatly appreciate all of the donations to financially support his care, please keep sharing his story and photos to help us find him a home!

Who is Emmitt?

Emmitt is a 2.5-year-old Shepard Mix and one of our bigger dogs here at Save-A-Pet. Emmitt loves to run around and will come back running back to you at full speed. He even pretends to be a cat, rubbing up on you for all the attention and petting. His favorite spot for some big scratches is the underside of his neck. If you have ever seen Scooby-Doo, here is Scooby’s twin!

Emmitt needs a Total Hip Replacement on both of his hips which will need to be done in two separate surgeries and would require special care for his recovery. The total cost of this double procedure is $15,000.

Emmitt’s double hip replacement needs to be done in two separate surgeries.  In April of 2023 Save-A-Pet’s Animal Health Team was able to find a Vet at the University of Purdue Small Animal Hospital.  He had his first hip surgery and afterwards developed an infection.  Emmitt is currently recovering and will then have his second surgery when he is healed.

Funds raised for Emmitt, will cover both surgeries, any follow-up care and diagnostics, specific recovery time/supplies, along with gasoline costs to cover the transportation to and from Purdue.
