IVAN needs your help


Ivan is the "Mayor" of Rocky Ridge.  He is the official greeter to everyone who visits, official nanny to the baby residents and the entertainer who brings a smile to everyones  face, including nursing home residents.
 

 

When Ivan came here as a small puppy, he was very sick.  For the first month he was fighting for his life from an undetermined illness.  Ivan recovered in a big way.  He has been active, charming, loving and just so smart.  Today (12/20/08) I noticed his eyes looked odd, so I called the vet and took him right in to be seen. The vet and I were both shocked to discover he has a luxated lens in there AND in the other eye! The only option is to do intricate surgery, which will be a big expense and we must travel quite a distance to a specialist. Not doing so means he goes blind and would still have to take his eyes out due to pain. This is a genetic defect..... We need your help.  Rocky Ridge Refuge is a 501c3 under "Friends of Rocky Ridge"  If you can make a Donation, please do so ASAP as a decision must be made soon.  Ivan is a great dog and is in pain.  This is heartbreaking.  Ivan is turning 1 year old this Christmas 2008 so has a long life ahead of him. 

We will update information.
