Bruno is a 9-year-old Poodle-Miniature in Woodbridge, VA, who needs $1,100 for Broken Ulna and Radius Surgery.

I met bruno on a farm. He was only 2 months old and was an adorable puppy. My family has been wanting a puppy but I was too young. I am now 19 and have a job as an RBT. When my family were discussing on getting him, I promised to take care of all his needs. Since my family lives in a trailer park, Bruno is a perfect fit since he is a small breed.

Bruno sleeps on his bed in my room or in the living room. Every morning he wakes up and rings a bell I put next to the door. This is how he communicates if he needs to potty or simple go on our deck for fresh air. Bruno loves belly rubs and will lie down on his back an whine for a quick rub. He aways greets each family member when they get home from school or work.

Bruno loves playing fetch. He also loves being chased and will come back for more. One of our favorite things to do id go for car rides. Bruno loves looking out the window and getting that breeze go fresh air. Bruno loves other people and animals and wants to greet EVERYONE. Seeing Bruno spread his love around makes me happy.

Recently my younger sibling tripped over Bruno while he was outside to potty. Bruno was taken to the vet and was diagnosed with two broken bones in his front paw. His ulna and radius isn't super out of alignment but there was a risk of not healing with a split. The vet gave us estimates for surgery we could not afford and decided to do splints every week.

My father has had eye surgery several times and needed financial assistance. He isn't fully able to help Bruno out with his surgery. I don't make many hours at my job right now due to clients. Bruno isn't just a dog to me he is my son. Giving him up is not an option for me.
