Benji is a 5 year old Golden Retriever in Miami, FL, who needs $1,000 for X-rays, Rimadyl, Deramaxx.

Benji is a 5½-year-old mixed breed dog (you can insert specific breed mix if known), adopted as a puppy in 2019. He has lived with me ever since and is a full-time indoor companion pet. He has always been a calm, affectionate dog, and has brought tremendous emotional support and joy to my life. There are no other pets in the house he is an only child.

Benji was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia in 2021 at a veterinary clinic in Miami, Florida. At the time of diagnosis, he showed signs of joint instability and discomfort, particularly in his hind legs. Due to financial limitations, we were not able to pursue ongoing treatment or surgical intervention. Benji's condition was managed conservatively with rest and reduced activity,

Benji is a sweet, loving dog who brings comfort and happiness to everyone around him. He absolutely loves the water and could spend hours splashing and swimming. At home, he's a total cuddlebug who always wants to be close. Benji is more social with humans than with other dogs, but he lights up when playing with retrievers. His gentle, loyal nature makes him a truly special part of our family.

I’m a 21-year-old student with no income, and my family is struggling after my dad lost his job. We can’t afford vet care right now. Benji is my comfort and support, and it would mean everything to see him healthy and out of pain again. He deserves proper care.
