Bubba is a male Chinese Shar Pei that we are currently caring for. As some of you may remember, I have posted some details on here about Chinese Shar Pei rescue that my wife is heavily involved in and has been for the past 12 years or so. It is all non profit and functions through donations and adoption fees only. The rescue organization helps owners rehabilitate injured and miss treated dogs and places them into suitable homes all over the United States.
Six days we received a frantic phone call from one of our foster homes stating that Bubba had gotten out. An immediate search was performed but he could not be found. On the 30th, my wife received a phone call from the previous foster stating that they had found Bubba but he had been badly injured. Most likely a vehicle but nobody had seen what happened. He was taken to the local Emergency Vet and ended up spending 4 days there.
Bubba has been at our house healing for the past 3 days and is progressing well. He still has to go through some surgical procedures to repair his dislocated hip but some of his other injuries must heal before this can happen. We think that we will be able to have the hip repaired over the next week or so. The details of his injuries and all the work we try to do for the breed are listed on a couple of websites if you are interested in his progress. If you would like to view them they are located at:

Current donations cover about 25% of his current medical needs. It is really tough for me to say this because I am not used to asking for anything but if you have the ability to make a tax deductable donation to the cause, we would be forever grateful. All the information should be available on the sharpeirescue.org website.
He has been a wonderful dog through these tough times and has been trying really hard to fit in with our dogs. I think when he starts to feel better, he will fit even more. It will be a long road until he is ready to go to a suitable home but I am quite certain he will make a family very happy once he is fully healed.
Thanks for listening!!
