Blue is a 4-year-old Mixed Breed Dog in Brick, NJ, who needs $2,000 for CCL.

I am a single dad who considers Blue my son. He has been my Guardian Angel for the past 4 1/2 years. I adopted blue when he was 6 weeks old and has brought nothing but joy to me and everyone that has met him. I have PTSD and Blue is my service dog. He knows when I am having "episodes" and alerts me or wakes me with a gentle paw on my arm.

Blue has free roam of my house/apartment. He is kind to people and animals alike. Very loving and always greets anyone with a smile. Not a mean bone in his body. When we go to the Dog Park, he is the highlight of the hour :) With so many dogs running and playing, sometimes the little dogs get bumped or roughed. But not when Blue is there. He puts his 100 lb body between the other dogs to protect.

His nickname is Chewbaka because he tries to talk and communicate :) The sounds he makes sound like Chewbaka from Star Wars. The other thing that I enjoy is when its time for a walk. He gets his leash, brings it to me, then after it is one he grabs the handle in his mouth and geads out the door. He thinks he is walking himself LOL

My baby boy is in so much pain. He has a torn ACL and needs an operation to fix. Sometimes the pain is so much that he cries to me as for me to make it stop hurting and it breaks my heart, Im suppose to be his protector and I feel so helpless. I just lay on the floor next to him and cuddle/sooth him until we both fall asleep.

I was a Co-Owner of a small Limo service until it was forced to close due to pandemic. My meager salary barely pays the bills if lucky. My poor dog should not suffer because of my losses. I called every Emergency Vet and NONE will accept payments and I was denied CareCredit
