Apollo is a 3 year old Whippet in Hampstead , NC, who needs $2,000 for Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) - ACL Surgery.

We got Apollo from a Whippet breeder. He came to us as a puppy 3 years ago. He has two adopted sisters being a miniature dachshund (Artemis) and a Siamese cat (Bella). He loves playing with Artemis they are tied at the hip. One does not go anywhere without the other. My daughter is the one who named both dogs after Apollo and Artemis which are actually brother and sister in Greek mythology.

I am seeking financial assistance for Apollo because he needs ACL surgery - cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) repair. Apollo will be spending his Thanksgiving in surgery to get his ACL fixed and then a long-time recovery. Our special situation is that we are a one income house with my daughter and husband both in school. I work 2 jobs and barely make ends meet. I am not looking for a hand out.

Apollo likes to run around with Bella and Artemis. He loves zoomies. He loves throwing ball with his dad. He is a very fast runner and as you can imagine since he is a whippet. His ACL has hindered his running and playing. He has to stay cooped up in the house and trying to stay calm all day. Apollo is a very active dog which is hard for him.

I am not expecting a handout just some help with the vet bill as the vet bill is around $5300.00. Anything would be helpful at this point. As mentioned above I work two jobs and have two people in college and high school.
