Bandit is a 1-year-old Pitbull/Basset Hound Mix in California City, CA, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Dad was in ICU, covid 19, a friend could no longer keep her puppy and my 5 siblings mom and I lost our safety net. We told out friend that we would take the puppy in and we had suddenly felt safe again with our sweet but strong puppy. Even though dad's back he's been a sense of safety around the house evr since.

He's the best friend of our other dog domino, I don't think she would be okay if he was gone. He cuddles my baby brothers, he loves us all and we love him. My sister is hearing impared and he helps be her ears in a a sense, i know she'll be afraid again without him, God put him in our family for a reason, we are not ready to let him go.

You've never seen a dog so happy to fetch his toy, he literally lives for hugs and fetch. He's a very hyper and joyful, he's super cuddles, and our other dog domino is absolutely in love with him. And after half a year of trying to jump onto the trampoline he finally did it with his little legs. We would be so upset to lose him

He needs emergency surgery he swallowed somthing and needs it removed. Had X rays and fluids done at the animal hospital, they said it's only a matter of time before he passes away. The fluids are good for 24 hours and the surgery will cost 5,000 dollars and we don't know what to do, my mom already spent 500 dollars at the vet today

It would mean life to have him healthy again, he's our everything. There are 6 of us kids, my dad has long covid and is out of work, and my mom is going through college to help support us better.
