Dylan had a second surgery on his left knee in early December. The procedure went very well; there was no sign of infection; and he is healing and happy with his foster mom, Christy Mara. He is going for physical therapy twice a week and also has p/t at home. When his leg is stronger, he will go for water treadmill exercise as well.
Dylan should have his final surgery, fingers and paws crossed, on his right knee for a torn ACL in March or Apri

 

                               

Tasha went for a check up in early January.

                      She too is doing very well. Her family is helping her to gain muscle mass in her legs.


 

 

 

Thanks again to Newf lovers across the country for your concern, letters, emails, phone calls and monetary donations for Dylan and Tasha.

We could not help a dog like Dylan without your support!

 

Tasha has recovered very well from her knee surgery for a torn ACL. Her foster family has decided to adopt her.

Dylan had surgery on his left knee in early September. He acquired an infection in the knee and has been on antibiotics since that time. In early December he will have repeat surgery on the left leg as his patella is still luxated. At a later date he will have surgery on his right knee for the torn ACL. Dylan will require extensive physical therapy.

We thank everyone from across the United States and NewPenDel who have made a donation to the special needs fund created to help defray the costs of the surgeries and physical therapy for Dylan and Tasha. You may still make a donation at any time by check or pay pal.

We also thank the veterinarians for discounting the costs of the surgeries and the foster volunteers for their time, effort and devotion to these two Newfoundland dogs.

Happy Dylan, content with a toy while awaiting surgery
