Beau is a 9 year old Siberian Husky in Decatur, IL, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Surgery.

We got Beau from a rescue in Indiana. He was a puppy at the time and the old owners did not have the time or energy for him. It was my daughter's 2nd birthday when we got Beau. He has been in our life for 9 years now.

We recently noticed that Beau was limping and not putting any weight on his back leg. I got him in to the vet as quickly as possible and had the vet look him over. After the examination the vet said that he has a ruptured cranial cruciate ligament and would need surgery otherwise the leg would end up going lame.

Beau is by far the best pet we have ever had. He knows not to get on furniture or jump on people. He loves people especially kids. He will listen , sit, lay down, shake paws and even talk to you . He loves sleeping on the floor next to my little girl and watching over her. They have become best friends for life.

I am a single dad raining my daughter. I have a small business that I run that is struggling right now. We are at a crossroads. Do we pay our house bills and not help Beau or do we save Beau and not pay the home bills.
