Beau

Beau's heart tries wayyy to hard to pump blood through the central valve that feeds blood into his lungs. There are two flaps inside the pulmonary valve that are supposed to open and close when blood in pushed out from the heart. In Beau's case, it only partially opens, this is congenital, and since it has gone unchecked for over a year, he now has damage to the lower portion of his heart and the right side is enlarged. His prognosis with the above surgery is good - he can be a normal doggie pretty much, without it he will have congestive heart failure at a young age. Beau is just a baby and has had a rough go of it the first year of his life. Someone cut the tops of his ears off with scissors and no anesthetic, someone starved him, someone beat him with a newspaper, and someone left him to die. Beau's will to live showed everyone up - and he ended up with Karma Rescue. He ended up with Karma because we know what an amazing boy he is - and come hell or high water we will do right by him after no one else has. We pulled him even after we got the call from the vet that he had a heart murmur, knowing full well it would not be inexpensive to correct it. We did it hoping kind people like yourself could help us pay for that surgery to let him have a normal, loved doggie life - but no matter what, he will get his heart surgery. He deserves it, he has overcome so much. And most of all he deserves a loving home.
