Mabel was rescued from a local kill shelter in Texas. She was very emaciated and was pulled the day she was supposed to be euthanized. I have a great love for the Mastiff breed and couldn't bear the thought of not giving this old gal a chance. So...when she was pulled from the shelter she came to my house.

Hi, I just want to pass some information along. My GF has 2 German Shepard's 1 is 12 the other is 9. The 12 year old needed both hips replaced at $5,000.00 a hip and no guarantees.

I told my gf to try and find a vet in the area who might help her. All the information I have on this procedure is out of California. She found… Continue
