Brady is a 10 year old Labrador Retriever in Gray, ME, who needs $9,040 for TECA-BO.

Brady has been in our lives since December 2015. I got him as a gift to my husband for christmas and a furry friend for our other puppy, Harley. He was 7 weeks old at that time. He is the middle furbaby with a canine sister and brother, as well as 2 feline sisters. I named him Brady after Tom Brady because my husband is a die-hard Patriots fan!

Brady has had chronic ear infections most of his life. In the last 2 years we have had to have an ear flap drained, as well as his face drained three times due to infection breaking through the ear canal. He has had two drains placed in his face in the last year. The Portland Veterinary Emergency Care and Specialist believe a TECA-BO is needed to prevent further damage to Brady.

Brady has the attitude of a Grumpy old man but the soul of a brand new puppy. He loves to snuggle up beside you in bed (specifically as the little spoon). Being outside is Brady's favorite activity. Whether our kids are on the trampoline, playing in the rain, or rolling around in the snow, Brady is out there enjoying the fun with them.

Due to my husband's career with the Navy, we are going through some changes to include going back to only his income. The support will take some of the load off us while we go through this transition in life. The surgery could lessen ear infections and facial abcesses.
