Elvis is a young coonhound that was brought into the shelter on Sat, Feb 6th by the police. He was found on W. State St., Jefferson, IA, in bad condition. He was limping on his left rear leg and had cuts all over his small body. We took him to the vet who determined that he has a torn ACL and that Elvis is in need of a surgery that will cost approximately $1500. Donations can be sent to PAWS at PO Box 135 Jefferson, IA 50129, can be made on our website at www.pawsofgreenecounty.org or can be picked up by a volunteer by calling Jenn at 515-230-1562 or 515-386-9814. Elvis will also need a quiet foster home after his surgery so if you'd be willing to foster him please contact us.
