Please help Jezzy dance again!

Jezzy is a 25-lb. Australian Shepherd who loves to dance on her back legs! She is around 2 years old, and was found earlier this year as a stray at Ft. Hood, TX. She was due to be euthanized but one of the vet techs couldn't let that happen, and took her home. She was not able to keep her, however, so Jezzy made her way to Austin Aussie Rescue. From September though October, she participated in a training program at Triple Crown Academy in Hutto, TX.

On November 14, Jezzy went to daycare at Taurus Training and Doggy Play Day with her foster brother, Indy. Somehow their leashes entangled getting out of the car, and in a freak accident, Jezzy ended up with a serious spiral fracture to both the tibia and fibia (upper and lower leg bones).

She had surgery on Monday, November 17, at the Central Texas Veterinary Specialty Hospital and we are now looking at bills of over $2,000 and eight weeks of crate time. The good news is the surgery went well and the vet believes she has a good chance for a full recovery. Her foster family is dedicated to keeping her quiet so her bones can heal properly. And...once she gets the OK from the vet, Jezzy needs a permanent, loving home!

We are asking for your help to contribute toward Jezzy's vet bills so we can see her dancing again -- in a couple of months! See Jezzy's Petfinder page here (includes a video)! See more pictures here!
