While Momma Rotti kept her babies secluded and safe in an industrial-area yard filled with pallets, this young boy became trapped behind the debris-filled hiding place. As he grew and tried to move, the right front paw became amputated & scars can be seen where he had been cut. The front left leg is deformed. A worker at the pallet company brought in Momma Rotti and her pup--now a growing boy of about 4 months. We call him Festus.

To give this animal rescue story a happy ending, Festus will need costly orthopedic surgery as it is getting more difficult for him to walk as he gets bigger and heavier. Donations to our Res-Q Fund will help to offset the expense involved. Please donate today and help Festus.

Update! Read about Festus' progress ... his surgery, and then his happy adoption!
