UPDATE: Please consider helping Keller....(not a doodle but a sweet guy)

[Diana Erhart]

A friend of mine is fostering a dog named Keller.  He seems to have been abused i the past.  He needs a very expensive surgery to live.  I believe there are actually 2 surgeries involved.  The vet has agreed to do these at a reduced cost because without this surgery he will die a very painful death or have to be put down.  Here is Keller's story from his chip-in page:

Keller needs you help!! He has a bi-lateral perineal hernia (simply put his intestines are protruding from is rear end). This is a life threatening condition caused either by not being neuter (he is now!!) or blunt trauma or both. Keller's owner passed away and the family was not kind to him and finally dumped him. We thought he was ready for his new forever home but when we groomed him discovered the hernias. Our vet is working with us to keep costs down but typically this surgery is $4000!!! We are trying to raise half of that. Every little bit helps so if you can spare just a few dollars it would be a big help! Keller is blind and the sweetest little terrier you'd ever meet! He deserves a chance!

If you would like to help Keller, here is the link to his chip-in page:  http://dixonkeller.chipin.com/keller-dixon-animal-protection-society

I know any donations would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE*****

I got this message from Keller's foster today:
Two weeks can feel like a very long time. Keller will go in for the first of hopefully only two surgeries on Friday. If it doesn't work the first time we'll have to go back in so send him your thoughts and positive energies on Friday! 

Me again: Please keep Keller in your thoughts and prayers. He is such a sweet guy.  Keller's chipin is only at 15%. If any of you (who haven't already) are interested in donating, his chipin account is:http://dixonkeller.chipin.com/keller-dixon-animal-protection-society
Thanks to all of you who have donated so far. I will keep you updated on his progress.
