Billy Idol is a 11 month old Pomeranian in Carmichael, CA, who needs $6,000 for Patellar Luxation Repair, TTT, and Groove Deepening.

We adopted Billy at six months old after a four‑hour trip to Oakdale Tiny Paws Rescue. We chose him because he reminded us of our senior rescue, Jawa, who we lost to CHF after doing everything we could, even taking on CareCredit debt we still carry. Billy’s playful, spunky energy helped heal our hearts. We named him Billy Idol for his blonde spiky puppy hair and rock‑n‑roll attitude.

Billy has bilateral patellar luxation, a genetic knee condition. His left leg is Grade 3 and clinical, requiring immediate surgery because he can barely bear weight and keeps it lifted when he walks. His right leg is Grade 2–3 and worsening as he overuses it to compensate. Surgery will be performed at Placerville Animal Surgery Center, which offers affordable care for low‑income families.

Billy is the sweetest, most tender boy, deeply bonded with our daughter who has severe ADHD. He senses when she’s overwhelmed and licks her face until she is grounded. He loves tossing his little stuffed animals into the air and caring for his special bear, Phil. He is a much‑needed support for our child and has helped her regulate emotions when traditional treatments have fallen short.

We’re a low‑income family. My fiancé is a retired Army veteran living on a fixed income, and I was recently laid off when my company downsized to AI. We’re still carrying delinquent CareCredit debt from trying to save our dog Jawa, leaving us unable to get a loan.
