Blue is a 1-year-old Labrador Retriever in Dry Ridge, KY, who needs $2,000 for TPLO (Cruciate Ligament Repair) Procedure.

We purchased Blue from a breeder in Dry Ridge , Ky when he was 10 weeks old and our lives haven’t been the same since! He brightens the household with just a wag of his tail. When he first came home, we lived in a subdivision with a small yard but as he quickly grew we knew we needed a better home for him, so in November 2022 we purchased a home, where he has a huge yard to run and play in!

Blue has two human sisters, one human brother, and one little doggie brother! He is so good around our children as well as our Australian Shepard puppy, “Rebel”. He loves playing tug-o-war with his dad and snuggling up with mom on the couch. Anytime the children are away he will go through each room searching for them, and loves when they play fetch with him.

Even at his 110lbs, Blue thinks he is a lap dog, and wants to lay right on top of you. He is truly a gentle giant. When we brought our third and final baby home from the hospital he was careful not to step on her anytime she was playing in the floor. He loves giving you his paw for a handshake, as well as getting treats out of his Kong toys.

Blue recently injured his back leg when he was running and playing around our yard and has tore his ACL. He does put some weight on it, but not fully so he is unable to get around like he used to. According to our veterinarian, he needs a TPLO (cruciate ligament repair) procedure.

For our family, when it rains, it pours. After purchasing a house in Nov. 2022, I lost my job in Dec. 2022. With three children and living on one income we are truly struggling. Being able to pay for Blue’s surgery and have him back to his old self would mean the world to us
