I just saw this on Facebook and thought I would share it.

Charlie is an approximately 2 year old German Shepherd male who was attacked by another dog and just had his back right leg amputated. He is also heartworm positive. He needs a foster to help him heal and get back on his feet. If you can help go to sanantoniopetsalive.org/foster. He is on the Facebook page SAPA urgents and adoptables. Sorry, I don't know how to repost a picture.

Chance is a 10ish Shetland Sheepdog Mix who was rescued from the shelter in January of 2013 and diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in September of 2013. He had a front left amputation and 6 rounds of carboplatin. He had a great 11 months and was diagnosed with lung mets on 8/23/14. He was released to the bridge on 8/28/14.

We Still Need a Foster for Charlie, a Sweet Shepherd Who Lost His Leg Today & Needs a Loving Foster to Care for Him!
San Antonio, TX *Extremely Urgent!
**Needs Foster Commitment ASAP!**
>> 280202 Charlie is a German Shepherd who is about 2 years old weighing about 42 lbs. We believe he has been in a fight and needs help! He will be getting his leg amputated and his other leg has a bad infection. On top of that he is heart worm positive! Once he gets his leg surgery he will need crate rest to heal. We need a foster that can be on standby for when this guy is out of surgery. We will keep you updated!

First time fosters need to complete this applicationhttp://www.sana.....plication/

Thanks for sharing Taylor. We hope he gets into a loving home situation asap.
