Benji is a 2-year-old Beagle/Pincher Mix in Carson, CA, who needs $1,850 for Hemilaminectomy - Thoracolumbar.

We rescued Benji from a family friend who was moving away from the area. He is only 2 yrs old, but has been characterized by his long legs, his sweet face, and his playful personality. He LOVES to run, jump, and play fetch, so this shifted disk induced hind leg paralysis was earth shaking for our little Benji. We humbly ask that you contribute to his care by donating money towards his 10k surgery.

Benji is so sweet. He plays so well with his big brother Chestnut (our other rescue) and loves to play fetch with the whole family. He keeps us active by pleading for play with big eyes and a persistent tail wag. He is a good boy! Everyone who knows Benji loves him like their own. He sleeps right next to Chestnut and always wants to be around us.

Benji is special because he has added to our family at JUST the right time. We have been looking for a new family member and when we had the opportunity to add him to the mix, we were elated. It’s devastating that he woke up today (3/3/22) with no control of his lower half :(
He is still being so strong even though he’s very confused about what is happening in his little body.

This surgery is not “affordable” but it is necessary. We love Benji and we intend to take care of him the best way we can, but it takes a village! This is Benji’s first (& prayerfully last) medical surgery. He is only 2 years old, so you can imagine how scary this might be for him. The veterinarian center has ran tests for that revealed a slipped disk pinching his spinal chord.

This was an unprecedented and devastating discovery. We were not prepared for this financially or emotionally, which is why we hope to find support here on this platform. It would mean SO much to us if you could support us in trying to give Benji the best quality of life!
