Help us save Sam's leg

Sam arrived at the shelter in good spirits - however, it was very obvious that he was limping. Upon examination and an x-ray, the shelter staff concluded that he was recently hit by a car - but the cause of his limping could also be the result of an old injury. Sam has an appointment at an orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday and we are hoping to hear that his leg can be saved. If not, Sam will need his leg amputated. We would love more than anything to save his leg. The thing is, Sam is probably just around 2 years old. He has a sparkle in his eye and he has a happy, playful nature. Dogs do really well as tri-pawds, but we know he would love to be able to run and jump and play with all four legs.
Through our partnership with the shelter, OPA will be paying for Sam's orthopedic surgery and subsequent vet bills.
Operation Pets Alive (OPA) manages the MCAS Foster Vetting Fund. This fund will pay for foster vet bills - as long as there are funds available. OPA relies on generous donations from animal lovers like you to maintain the foster vetting fund. We ask that you find it in your heart to give a little toward Sam's veterinary costs.
Oh man, this breaks my heart. Sam sounds like such a sweet boy with that sparkle in his eye — I really hope the surgeon can save his leg so he can keep running around like he deserves. We went through something similar with our rescue pup last year, and the wait for those orthopedic appointments is agonizing. Speaking of which, I actually had to send our vet a bad quality image of his x-ray because the original file was too big to email — that tool at saved us in a pinch, even if the vet joked about the blur. Anyway, sending all the good vibes to Sam and hoping for the best news on Tuesday!
Poor Sam, what a sweet boy. Praying the surgeon can save his leg—he deserves to run and play on all fours. 💙 From: Smash Fest
Such a touching story — I really hope Sam got the care he needed and kept that playful spirit. For anyone who enjoys decoding little messages online, this morse code translator is a simple tool for converting text to Morse code and back.
More than anything, Pixel Flow got me because it makes setup moves feel important. Sometimes the move that helps most isn’t the one that clears the most cubes right now. It’s the one that strips off the boring outer shell so the color I actually need gets exposed before my waiting slots fill up. That kind of board logic is catnip for me.
