Bear Bear is a 5-year-old Yorkie in Cocoa, FL, who needs $2,000 for Luxating Patella.

Bear Bear Is my best friend and my life. He sleeps with me every night and we spend all of my time out of work together. It is the two of us together and I do not know what I would do without him. He is such a handsome and good boy he is not a dog to me he is my son, my fur baby.

Bear Bear is my baby and the love of my life. He is my best friend and my protector at night. He is the sweetest dog ever. He loves to run and play and bark.... a lot. LOL

My Bear Bear loves to play with the neighbors kids and the neighborhood cats. He loves his turkey tendon treats and belly rubs. He sleeps either right on my head or at my feet and loves to bite my toes at night if I move my legs.

Bear Bear started going up the stairs into the house and then a couple days later he started limping. I took him to the vet and found out he has a luxating patella. It is apparently a grade 4 injury and is going to need surgery. They gave him pain medicine and I got an appointment with a veterinary surgeon on the 22nd. That is the soonest I could get in. The surgery is going to be almost $2,500.

I work and survive as well as I can but was not prepared for a financial hit like this. I will do whatever I have to do though to take care of my baby. I will get the care credit and charge it I will do anything I have to to help him.
