Bojangles is a 3 year old Mix-Breed in West Baldwin, ME, who needs $2,000 for Dog Pneumothorax Treated with a Chest Tube.

Bojangles came into our lives at a chaotic time; we were moving to Maine from New York to a fixer-upper house and leaving behind our families and support system. When we first heard about Bo we were unsure if we were ready for a dog. When we saw a few pictures of him and were told that he needed a new home, we knew what we needed to do. He became the newest member of the family & adventure dog.

One of the worst moments of our lives happened when Bo was hit by a car while playing fetch. He has been diagnosed with pneumothorax, air in his chest cavity. He’s currently being treated at Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care, where a chest tube was placed to help him breathe. Though his condition has improved, he’s spent many nights there, resulting in a high medical bill.

If you ask anyone who has met him they will all say the same thing, Bo is a loving and energetic dog. Although he is three he still has the full energy of a puppy. He loves to greet everyone he meets and jump up to give them kisses. Even in his current condition, the vet techs tell us he just wants to give them kisses. He loves to play fetch and wrestle with his little brother Frankie.

Every day Bo is at the emergency vet healing his lungs and the bill has been growing. We are so happy Bo is making progress and want him to be as healthy as possible when he gets home. As with all medical emergencies, this has come as a financial surprise.
