Bear is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Tonganoxie, KS, who needs $4,500 for TPLO Surgery.

7 years ago I was in a rough place mentally. I had lost my family dog a year before and needed a companion. I found just the cutest puppy on Craigslist and he was only $20. So I drove 2 hours to pick him up and he’s never left my side. For the next 7 years he’s been my absolute best friend and just the best dog anyone could ever ask for. So for his incredible love for me I named him Bear.

Bear never had any medical issues. Was always just the perfect pet. Till about 2 months ago he started limping. Then got to a point where he won’t stand on his back leg at all. So took him to my local vet and they sent me to an ortho. So we went to kc canine orthopedic where they told me he had an acl tear and had to have surgery.

Bear is the most gentle giant. He loves to cuddle with our cats and play with his two sisters out back. He’s quiet. Never gets into anything. Just all around the perfect gentleman. Compliments everywhere we go on just how sweet he is and how good he is. I never had to train him much because he follows and listens all on his own. I mean how perfect could he be.

Currently I have had some extra expenses that I wasn’t prepared for. I had to get a new vehicle and help my parents out with their housing bills. So to have a large expense thrown my way just wasn’t possible to handle. It breaks my heart to see him struggle so much.
