Injured Dog fundraising request




John Kunihiro, who owns and operates the Art of Massage clinic on Ridgeway Avenue in the neighborhood, and his wife found an injured bull terrier dog in the road near Newnan on their weekend getaway vacation. She had apparently been hit by a car. They placed her over at Debbie Jones’ house for two days. Last night, we made a plan to get the dog to the vet.


She is actually well behaved, gentle, and rather sweet. Given all she has been through, it only grumbled slightly when my dog, Conner, tried to make friends. I think I would grumble if someone was nudging my broken leg!

This morning, John and I took her over to Buckhead Animal Clinic. They tested her thoroughly today. She is actually healthy with one large and expensive exception.

She has a broken femur. The vets estimate that it will cost around $1000.00 to perform the surgery. So they are seeing about using a clinical student for the procedure, which will significantly reduce the costs.

I would like to ask you folks if you can contribute something to the cause.

If 20 people give $50, the surgery is covered.

If anyone who contributes money wants to adopt the dog, please let John know, as we also need to place the dog in a home. I am starting this off with a $50 contribution. One of employees just donated $50 as I wrote this. So.. That’s $100 and the letter is not even sent yet.

The alternative here is dire and I do not need to spell it out.

If you also wish to help, simply drop your check in the mail to the address below. Or you could stop by John’s place and put it in his box or hand it to him directly. Make it payable to the Buckhead Animal Clinic. (John’s information is below for your use).

Thank you for your consideration of this matter, and I hope you will be inclined to help.

Yours,
