Booker is a 9-year-old Havanese in Greensburg, IN, who needs $200 for Exam and Diagnosis of Back Pain.

I've had Booker since he was a puppy, which has been nearly nine years. He's a full blooded Havanese, he was born on my sister's birthday which we thought it was fate.

He lives with me and my grandmother which is a struggling household. My grandmother had a stroke and now has dementia, she cannot be alone and I'm strained. I'm a 24/7 caregiver to my grandmother.

Booker is the biggest supporter in my family. When it's a tough day and I am breaking down after watching, and noticing just how much my grandmother has deteriorated, he is right there with me. He's a smart little guy and I love him so much.
He hates getting his paws dirty ( actively avoids mud ), hates the rain. He's always thinking up ways to do stuff and has such a big personality.

He's terrified of thunder, hates dirty paws and mud, always thinking of ways to play. He'll snuggle with me and is constantly glued to me. If I go grocery shopping he is right there acting like he is helping me with groceries.

I'm just needing to get him help. Or find out what is wrong with him and help pay it. His back has been super tender, and he can barely walk, which happened out of nowhere. He cries to himself, and I cannot stand it. I feel so helpless and powerless. He's in pain.

I do not have a job, my current 'job' is taking care of my grandmother whom is in her 80's. We live off of her social security which isn't much. She needs someone to care for her at all times. So I've set my life aside to make sure she lives at home comfortably.
