We have enough money for Bogart's surgery now! They raised the $4,600!!! Thanks to all the donors/students that contributed!
Davis, CA - The following story highlights the best of humanity. A dog named Bogart was taken from the Sacramento City shelter to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
The dog was to be neutered by a member of the class of 2012 - but while he was at the school, the students discovered that he was suffering from pain in his hips.
An exam and radiographs revealed the sad truth - Bogart was suffering from severe hip dypslasia....
Hip replacement surgery is very expensive - when the city shelter learned of Bogart's disease, he was put on the euthanasia list for the following week.
But the students at UC Davis weren't about to let that happen - the surgeon that performed his neutering surgery - a student from the class of 2012 - rushed to the shelter and adopted him.
Now, the UC Davis students are raising funds to pay for Bogart's surgery - which of course, will be performed at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
Today, May 11, the students are throwing a luau to help raise funds for his surgery.
Bogart is going to get what he needs to feel good once again - these students rallied together to literally save his life. These are the young adults that we need and want out in the professional work force - caring and compassionate individuals that rise up when needed.
