Sebastian has gone over the Rainbow Bridge.
UPDATE 4/20: We are still trying to collect funds for poor Mr. Sebastian, sitting in a foster home, waiting for surgery on his bad hip... $2,193 to go :(
Update 12/19: Sebastian will be going to a foster home on Dec. 22nd until the funds are raised for his surgery so that he will be more comfortable while he waits for the funding to come. We are trying to collect for the surgery costs to offset them somewhat. What better a gift to give to give someone this holiday season than by making a donation in their name towards a charitable organization. Please help Sebastian today!
UPDATE 12/11: Sebastian had his xrays and neuter done yesterday and he has moderate to severe dysplasia in his right hip (it does not bother him to the point of emergency surgery though) and we will need to collect between $2000-2500 to have the surgery performed. Until then he will be kept on pain meds and we are currently looking for a foster home for him until the procedure can be paid for.
Sebastian is a 1 year old 130lb St Bernard pup who came to us from animal control VERY skinny and malnourished as well as with some skin and hip issues. He was apparently badly neglected in his previous home and ended up on the streets, despite being a very young, sweet dog. We are currently working on clearing up his skin dermatitis (from fleas) and fattening him up before he goes "under the knife" to correct his left rear hip issue. We are desperately seeking donations to help with this surgery, as due to Sebastian's size, surgery will be several hundred dollars (if not into the thousands). We will have a better idea of the exact amount after his xrays. If you would like to make a donation toward his surgery and care up until then, please click on the link below. Being a small private rescue, we are extremely dependent from donations from the community and private parties. ANY AMOUNT helps! Help us give Sebastian a normal, happy and healthy life that he deserves. Once the surgery has been completed, he will be available for adoption!

As of 4/26- ($2,193 to go) THANK YOU: Alicia R, Cheryl S, Terri K!
