BOSTON (WPRI) — The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) is seeking donations to help a young Frenchie who's in need of major surgery. Jack, a 2-year-old French Bulldog who has trouble getting around, was surrendered by his owner last month due to housing issues. "Jack had some problems with his mobility when he came to us," MSPCA-Angell's Mike Keiley said. "He had hip dysplasia, meaning his hip joints didn’t develop normally, which is a congenital issue." (Courtesy: MSPCA-Angell) (Courtesy: MSPCA-Angell) Keiley said that, although Jack's hip dysplasia has since been surgically repaired, he's not out of the woods just yet. "Jack's front left leg is severely disfigured," Keiley explained. "It's actually turned 180 degrees and is not only completely unusable, but also causing him discomfort." MSPCA-Angell suspects that the malformation was caused by a fracture that did not heal properly. "Unfortunately, it's not an injury that we can fix, so we need to amputate the leg once Jack's recovered a bit from the first surgery and has the stability needed in his hind legs to move forward," Keiley said. "He may also need an additional surgery on his hind legs in the future, but right now, our biggest concern is the twisted front leg." Jack is expected to undergo an amputation in the coming weeks, however, Keiley estimates that his surgeries and relate care will cost roughly $10,000. Anyone interested in donating to offset Jack's medical expenses can do so online.

Jack, who MSPCA-Angell described as being "sweet and playful," is currently recovering from his hip dysplasia surgery in a foster home. He is friendly and loves playing with other dogs, as well as children, according to his foster family. "It will be a while before Jack is ready for adoption," Keiley said. "He still needs the amputation and then a little time to recover." "Jack will navigate the world a little differently than other dogs following the amputation, but we know he'll be the perfect pet for the right home," he added. Keiley expects Jack to be ready for his forever home in early-to-mid January. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Daily Roundup SIGN UP NOW
