Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Darla needs your Help
Darla is a 7 month old Bulldog puppy. She was abandoned at a dog Grooming Salon on March 20th she is now with the English Bulldog Rescue and what a bundle of joy she is.
We suspect the reason she was not wanted any more by her previous owners, Darla has a condition called Hip Dysplasia, and she was diagnosed on April 16th by Dr. Powell an Orthopedic surgeon F.M. 1488 Animal Medical Center (281-259-8806).
Darla has one request: Please take the time to read below to learn about her condition. It is important not to purchase Puppies from Pet stores, Flea Markets, Back Yard breeders, these dogs are specimens of Puppy Mill breeding they do not care about what Genetic Gene they are passing onto other dogs as an end result the one that suffers is the dog like poor Darla. Please do your research, if you get a puppy please purchase from a reputable Breeder.
Dr. Powell feels Darla is a great candidate to have this procedure done on both hips. She will live a normal, pain free life. She will recover quickly due to her young age.
Darla will need: bi-lateral FHO which means: Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHO) is designed to eliminate the source of discomfort by removing part of the hip joint. The femur is cut so that the head and neck of the femur are removed ('ostectomy' means' bone is cut and removed'). Scar tissue forms between the femur and acetabulum, where the femoral head and neck used to be; this is called a 'false-joint' because motion, between, the bones, is maintained without the 'true' ball-and-socket joint. Eventually, this scar tissue provides enough support to permit use of the limb without causing significant discomfort.

Genetics: Researchers agree that hip dysplasia is a genetic disease. If a parent has hip dysplasia, then the animal's offspring are at greater risk for developing hip dysplasia. If there are no carriers of hip dysplasia in a dog's lineage, then it is highly unlikely he will not contract the disease.
We can greatly reduce the incidence of hip dysplasia through selective breeding In other words, if you breed two dysplastic dogs, the offspring are much more likely to develop the disease but the offspring will not all have the same level of symptoms or even necessarily show any symptoms. The offspring from these dogs will, however, be carriers and the disease will most likely show up in their offspring in later generations.
The English Bulldog Rescue Network Thanks you for your support so we can continue to save more lives.
