Astro is a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Georgetown, TX, who needs $2,000 for Spinal Surgery.

Astro was given to me by a partner who ended up passing away. He is the only dog in my home. He has been with me for almost four years. It is just the two of us in my home.

Astro needs surgery. MRI findings: Acute, left ventrolateral L2-L3 intervertebral disc extrusion with a large component of dorsal hemorrhage contributing to overall marked spinal cord compression extending to L1 and with cranial syrinx and spinal cord intramedullary hyperintensity. The spinal cord signal change is most typical of edema.

Astro is the happiest dog you will ever meet. He loves everyone he meets. He is fiercely loyal and the sweetest dog. He gets so excited when anyone comes over and brings everyone his ball to throw.

I have already spent my emergency funds and maxed out my credit cards getting the care he has needed to be comfortable over the past couple of days. I am a single mom. Astro has gotten me through the death of my significant other and has been my everything.
