Brody is a 7-month-old Golden Doodle in Ormond Beach, FL, who needs $2,000 for Surgery for Foreign Object Removal.

Brody is my four year old sons best friend. He was a gift from my mother and we got him when he was 10 weeks old. He is now seven months. Brody and my 8 year old golden retriever, Riley, are also inseparable. Brody is absolutely loved and adored by everyone in my household and my son hasn’t stopped crying since we’ve learned about Brody’s health needs.

He is the sweetest, most calm puppy you’ve ever met. He LOVES to cuddle. Even with our cat. He gives the best hugs and always has a kiss for you the second you get home. Him and my son are best friends and can play all day long. Such a protector and lover. Anywhere I go, he follows. And if I stay in one spot, he will nap on my feet.

Brody is the reason I know dogs have a sixth sense. If you’re ever having a bad day, sad, angry, emotional, he knows just how to help. The first one there to help you in a time of need. He’s better than most people. I couldn’t go through a dah without him anymore. I’d be lost without my sweet Brody bean and so would the rest of my family.

After immediately taking Brody to two different vets today due to diarrhea and vomiting, we were told he has a foreign object in his body and needs surgery. He is currently hospitalized and will need surgery, anesthesia, fluids, plasma, and lots of after care.

Unfortunately, due to the world today, my husband and I have fallen behind on bills. Two hurricanes, gas prices, loss of income amongst other things, this unexpected hefty expense is incredibly hard to swing, if not impossible. But I’d sell my limbs if it meant my dog was ok
