Alpha Two Socks is a 3-year-old Pitbull mix Dog in Shelton, WA, who needs $1,300 for Abdominal exploration.

This dog was given to us as a puppy. He has been a huge part of our lives for the past 3 yrs. We live with my dad because we can't afford a rental. My family has undergone medical scares and losses since January of last year. Including my mother in December
This dog has helped us through it all. We need him.

Alpha Two Socks is named after my son's then current favorite movie and character from.my dads...dances with wolves. He loves to play with his ball outside, play with our boys inside and attacks rocks in the rivers we camp by. He protects our family , even from each other. He hates yelling. He understands the difference in how to play with adults and kids.especially my little 3 yr old.

Alpha is very smart . He suckles on his stuffies still. He amazes me with how his behavior changes when hes outside at night with my husband. He knows what my husband means by a click of his tongue. He insists on shoving himself between people's knees so we have to scratch his butt. When people sit on our floor (especially me and our 10 yr old) he will come plop his rear on our lap
to snuggle

Our problem is that in september( don't ask why it took so long, he didn't show symptoms until a month ago)is that he swallowed a silicone bbq brush. And we didn't know it. he had life saving surgery on the 14th ofApril. They successfully removed the obstruction but yesterday the 17th of April, he showed signs of an infection. he may need surgery again if the infection is internal

Right now my husband has applied for disability but has not been officially approved. we are a family of5 on tanf, living with my disabled father . We have already exhausted our family members for help with the surgery. we have no way to pay for another. help me save him
