Ace is a 2-year-old Australian Cattle / Mix in Hesperia, CA, who needs $2,000 for Hip Surgery.

I adopted Ace October 29th 2020. He came into the shelter as a stray and I came across his picture online. I immediately inquired about him and was told he was put on a stray hold, meaning his owners had 14 days to come and claim him. No one claimed this beautiful boy and I had the honor of bringing him home.

Ace boy loves an adventure. Whether it is camping, hiking or off-roading he is always by my side. He loves making friends, no matter the species. He greets everyone with a warm smile and the waggiest tail. My family hit a rough patch and we are In-between homes, so Ace has been staying at a family members house until we were able to get our new place.

On June 18th I received a phone call that Ace was missing. Ace has never ran away from home so I feared the worst. His picture was posted on the ring app after 2 hours of searching and within 5 minutes we received a call. Ace was hit. He was found around 4 am laying in the road. Luckily, they noticed he was alive and they picked him up and took him home.

One broken arm, 4 broken ribs and a dislocated hip. After paying a little over 1100$ for x-rays, medications, a splint and his stitches we were told he needs to have surgery for his hip. His surgery is anywhere from 2000$-2500$. If he doesn't get it he will never be mobile again and will always be in pain. My family is doing everything we can to come up with the money but we desperately need help.

This couldn't have happened at a worse time for my family. We were only a few weeks away from bringing him back home with us. And now we might not ever get the chance if we can't get his surgery done before it's too late. Please help us. Please help him.
