This beautiful pup is Felony, a 4-month-old black lab/hound. When his mom adopted him, she wasn’t aware that he had an existing neck injury. From their best guess, Felony had a deep cut that must have healed wrong, causing scar tissue to pull Felony's ears back. For two months Felony's mom and the vet tried everything they could to fix the scar tissue and avoid surgery, but unfortunately none of it worked. Now it was time for Felony to have surgery. Felony's mom is a single mom and the only income for her family. She depleted her funds trying to help Felony avoid surgery, and unfortunately at the same time, one of her children got really sick and also needed medical attention. When it became time for Felony to have surgery, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to afford it. That’s when she learned about Fur Kids Foundation. She applied and we were happy to help alleviate some of Felony's mom's stress. Felony had surgery to remove some of the scar tissue from his neck, and was also neutered at the same time to help keep him healthy in the future. His vet expects him to make a full recovery. Did you know neutering removes the possibility of testicular cancer as well as reduces the risk of prostate enlargement and infection later in life for a dog? Neutering is also believed to reduce hormone-related behaviors such as leg lifting, humping, and some forms of aggression. Fur Kids Foundation is a huge proponent of spaying and neutering dogs. Read more about spaying and neutering in the Whole Dog Journal.
