About this campaign
Boba was a Service Dog that lost his person. I found him in a neglectful foster situation. I asked to rescue him and promised to find the medical funds to save his eye. Unbeknownst to me, his eye had been injured without care for some time and it swelled with infection 4 days later before making it to his appt.
Once healed, he will continue to be a Service Dog to a boy that struggles with autism.
The name, Boba Fettch comes from the Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett, nuff said.
Service Dogs are valuable in that they encourage social interaction. They also help the child feel safe, as people tend not to bully those with a dog. Especially not a 60-pound giant pile o' fluff. They also find the soft fur a calming sensory to feel. The list truly goes on but you can imagine.
I have only had Boba for 2 weeks, and every day I see him clawing at his jaw which causes him discomfort. He eats soft food because he can't chew. I use glaucoma drops to numb his eye pain. His nose runs continuously, and the bottoms of his paws are cracked and sore. And yet, he is the sweetest boy you'll ever meet. He rests his head on your lap while you eat and nudges at your hand for extra hugs
That Monday the pupil of his eye burst. His blood platelets were too low for surgery.
The Dr. visits that determined what services and medications he needed to get his blood platelets up to a healthy level came to $1,200.
In addition, he will receive surgeries for the removal of his right eye, periodontally diseased teeth removed, and skin growths biopsied.

Boba's situation disgusted me and I had to step in. Such an amazing working dog deserves to be taken care of and loved. As a single parent on food stamps, it still couldn't stop me from taking this sweet boy home.
