RICKY--CATARACT SURGERY

 We were asked to help this ten year old sweet boy.   We were first told he was 3-5 years old and I was so excited to get a young one.  But, he is older, 10. 
 He was in a Virginia shelter and had been turned in by his family-- we don't know why. 
 Ida volunteered to help get him and transport him to his foster home   This is his jail-break photo!
 He was perfectly comfortable traveling.  He just fell asleep.
 He had a bath and was all clean and fluffy.
 He is a very sweet, docile little man of about 13 pounds.  He just wants love and someone to snuggle with.  He does wear a belly band for now-- we don't know where he lived before.  He is learning.
 Ricky can hear, but not like a young dog.   And he just has one eye and it has a cataract in it.  SO....
We would like to raise about $2000 to be able to do cataract surgery on him.  The chances of gaining his sight in his one eye is 90-95%.  Those are pretty good odds, and one of the top ophthalmologists in the country is doing it.   If you would like to help fund his surgery, please make a donation on our web site or by sending it to our P.O box.   Our address is:  PVPC P.O. Box 61005, Richmond, VA 23261.   Or click on this link:    Potomac Valley Pekingese Club - Donate Now   
We want to give Ricky the best chance at a good life.  Thank you!
