Bennie is a 1 year old Australian Shepherd in Denver, CO, who needs $1,700 for Plate in his Right Hind Femur.

I bought Benny for my husband's birthday last year as my husband was showing signs of Alzheimer's at the age of 60. And I thought Benny would be good for him to take care of on a daily and help him bring his memory back. So he's more than just a dog he's part of the family. And just recently became homeless and are living in my car and have been saving money for a place and then this happened. So the money we had saved has went to his care.

My dog Bennie was hit by a car on the 24th Of September.The driver did not stop.After taking him to the closest animal hospital ,alameda animal hospital.They didnt do anything for him no x-rays or anything like that. They just confirmed that his right back femur was broken. And would need immediate surgery, amputation, euthanization. For them to fix his leg and put a plate in it would have cost $10,000 which we did not have . So after pain almost $700 to get him released from them to find somewhere else to take him that would be cheaper. We found Planned Parenthood which took him happily and and just for surgery and repaired his leg with a plate. We have paid $300 towards the 2000 that was owed. So now we still owe $1,700 before they will release him to us. I'm begging for somebody to please please help get ourBenny home to us asap? Please and thank you he is my son and more than just a dog. He's my life he's my breath and I need him in my life

Since Benny has been ours he makes friends wherever he goes. People come back to see him daily he has this effect on people and brings a smile to everybody he sees. He loves to play fetch and loves his exercise he loves to run jump and play daily. He's the most loving animal I've ever had or ever known. I love him with all my heart

This has been a very sudden and unexpected accident obviously one that wasn't expected. We just recently became homeless and we're living in our car. We have spent any and all money we had saved up for a place on his care which comes first no matter what. He is 100% our only concern at the moment. It would mean the world to us to please have him back with us where he belongs as I'm sure he's not doing good emotionally not seeing us for the last week this has been pure hell on us. We need to have him home with us please help us bring Benny home
