Bodhi is a 9 year old Mix-Breed in Carlsbad, CA, who needs $2,000 for Splenectomy with Biopsy of Liver and Spleen.

Bodhi came into Kyle's life as a 2-year-old rescue dog, having lived with 3 different families before finding his forever home with us. I soon met Bodhi a year later and he made it incredibly easy to love him. He is the only dog in our household. Kyle named Bodhi after the character from Point Break, which also comes from the Buddhist term "Bodhisattva," symbolizing compassion and enlightenment.

Our sweet 9-year-old Bodhi recently underwent an emergency splenectomy after veterinarians at Veterinary Emergency Group discovered a mass on his spleen that was causing internal bleeding and a rapid decline in his health. What started as subtle lethargy quickly escalated into a life-threatening situation, and we had no choice but to move forward with an urgent procedure to save his life.

Bodhi is special because he greets everyone with his signature hip shake and lean, making each hello feel warm and unique. At the dog park, his excited, goofy sounds show just how much he loves being around others. But what truly makes him special is his instinct to cuddle when you need it most - offering comfort, love, and companionship in a way that only he can.

This was a sudden, unexpected major expense, but for those who have met Bodhi, you know how special he is and how much he means to us. We want to keep giving him the adventures he loves - beach runs, hiking, camping - so he can continue living his happiest life by our side.
