Video: Susan Buck speaks about Charlie before the life saving operation was confirmed
Notts TV viewers have helped to raise over £5,000 for a life saving operation to save a six month old puppy.
Charlie has been taken in by Hope Animal Rescue Centre (HARC) in Long Eaton and suffers from a condition which comes from backyard breeding with his spine bent at ninety degrees.
Because his spine is compressed, Charlie cannot walk properly or stand still with his two legs often dragging behind him as he tries to run.
He is now due to be operated on Wednesday (October 26) even though the centre needs to raise another £3,000 to pay for the operation.
Vets agreed to do the operation before the full amount of £8,300 is paid to save Charlie.
The vets said his operation would be very difficult
Speaking about Charlie before the money was raised, HARC manager Susan Buck said: “He hasn’t got long left if he doesn’t have this operation.
“The vets said his operation would be very difficult but he’s such a star and we want to give him the chance.
“Hopefully after that there will be some nice person out there who will give him a home because he will be up for homing as soon as he is well.”
