UPDATE: Winter is out of surgery! He's still seeing pink elephants but he's awake and did great! Remember, if you would like to help fund Winter's medical expenses, you can donate on the website at http:\/\/sh-ug.com<\/a> or participate in our special emergency auction at\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/SHUGAuction\/<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

When the vet tells you that your 2-year-old Borzoi has osteosarcoma, getting a second opinion is a given. And then a third. There are some things you just aren't ever going to be ready to hear. Winter's owner exhausted every option, but the answer remained the same. A tough decision had to be made.<\/p>\n

Enter SHUG.<\/p>\n

There may be some who will criticize our decision to move forward with Winter's treatment, but the bottom line is that this dog deserves a chance. He's just two years old and has never had the opportunity to live the life of a pet. He's never fallen asleep on the couch, draped across someone's lap--and right now he's in too much pain to do that. So today Winter is having his leg amputated.<\/p>\n

\"winterface\"<\/a>Please stay tuned for updates on this special boy. And if you can afford to help with his surgery costs, please consider donating by clicking the button below. All donations are tax-deductible and will go directly to Winter\u2019s vet costs.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n

Ms. Michael Owens<\/em>, Director
\nThe Sighthound Underground<\/p>\n
