Yes!!  We have reached 100% of the target we set just  24 hours ago.  We are pretty sure that Barklay will be  completely covered medically.  All of the $4000 collected  on the Firstgiving page will be passed onto Golden Empire  Basset Rescue and will be used for the medical needs of  Barklay and hopefully have some left to help their other two  medically needy bassets in their care (one, four year old  hit by a car with pelvic fractures, and the other 4 months old  with severe conjunctivitis and generally not in the best of  health for a puppy!) Even better... we already have several expressions of  interest in giving him a permanent home!  Barklay on the transport and later, post surgery... minus a foot and ankle. The word today is that he is alert, WALKING on his  three good legs, and wagging his little tail like crazy!  Hopefully, he will be discharged from the vet surgery tomorrow, as long as his bandage change reveals a healing wound.  Depending on how he can learn to use the stump, he may need a further surgery to shorten the leg even further as he won't be able to use it for walking or running.  Dr Stout hopes he will use it to balance when standing, but ignore it when he walks or runs.  Time will tell! It is also thought that this may not have been a car accident  after all. The wounds show puncture wounds and crush injuries...some suggestion that this could have been done intentionally - maybe one hole at least was gunshot inflicted. Whatever the cause... Barklay Basset is on the mend  and will live a happy ever after life!
