Apollo is a 7 year old Doberman Pinscher in South Bend, IN, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Treatment.

Apollo came into our lives 7 yrs ago. I had always wanted to have a red Doberman and I happened upon an add in the paper for red Doberman puppies. Needless to say I didn't hesitate to go and get him. When we got to the place where he was we knew he chose us because he stayed with us when all the other pups ran off. He lives with me and my son. My son Brandon and Apollo became inseparable.

Recently about 2 months ago we noticed Apollo was starting to limp on his back leg but not always and only after he got up from laying down for a while. And in November he had surgery to remove some lumps and that leg and and couple other places. When he came home his limp was more pronounced but we thought just sore from surgery still. But took him back to be checked at parrett veterinary clinic.

Apollo is an amazing dog he loves everyone. If you pet him you have become his best friend and you better be ready to keep the pets going because otherwise he will just hit your hand until you pet him again. He will even knock your phone out of your hand if he wants your attention. He really loves being outside or wherever you are at just long as it's not raining he hates the rain.

I am currently single and paying for my house and all the bills. I already had to get him 1 surgery this year and this 2nd one was completely unexpected. It would be devastating for me to have to lose my boy after I've done so much already to keep him healthy. Please help me
