River is a sweet, gentle 1 1/2 year old golden, who had a tragic fall down a flight of stairs and fractured his humerus bone. Due to financial hardship and the physical challenges of navigating multiple flights of stairs, River’s family made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to GRR so he could receive the care he desperately needed.

This type of injury is incredibly painful and requires specialized surgery to repair. Without it, River’s chances of ever walking, playing, or living a pain-free life are at risk. Watching him struggle to stand and looking into his eyes as he winces in pain is heartbreaking.

The cost for River’s emergency surgery, follow-up care, and rehabilitation is $6,000 — an amount that is overwhelming for our small rescue to cover alone. But we believe every dog deserves the chance to heal and live the happy life they’re meant for.

🐾 Your donation will help cover the cost of the surgery River needed.

🐾 Even the smallest gift makes a huge difference in giving him comfort and hope.

🐾 Please share his story with others so other may also have an opportunity to help River.

River is still full of love, trust, and the spark of life despite his pain. With your kindness, he can once again run, play, and enjoy the life he deserves. We cannot let him down.
