Buddy is a 9-month-old American Bully in Chicago, IL, who needs $2,000 for Urethra Prolapse Repair Surgery.

Buddy came into our lives at the perfect time. We acquired him in mid October of last year. He was 4 months old at the time. He is the sweetest little bug, and very affectionate. He would cuddle up up right next you. Mom came up with the name buddy. He settled in right away and claimed his spot in the house which is cute. Very playful and so alive and that has given out home beautiful energy.

He is very playful. Loves big chew toys and loves tossing them around. He loves walking and likes running around in our backyard. He's friendly and loves the attention from people and people instantly love him because of his loving energy and cuteness. He loves his grandma which is my mom. He loves his sister which is my daughter.

Buddy knows when I'm having a bad day. He will walk up to me a place his head on my lap letting me know that everything is ok. There is something about him that attracts everyone he is around with. He is something special. I believe my dog lulu from heaven sent me this baby boy in our life. He definitely follows you around wanting to see what you're up to.

My dog has had a reoccurring issue with his urethra. He has a urethra prolapse. He needs surgery to get that repaired which will be a second time. He had the same surgery in February along with the neutering which I was told it would prevent the reoccurrence. But because of his type of breed it occurs often in bully breeds. He has a week timeframe to have this surgery done because of the bleeding

I lost my job of 14 years when buddy had his surgery back in February. It was a rough emotional month and I've tried my best to remain calm through all of it. I'm unemployed at the moment and I unfortunately can't afford this surgery and I feel very overwhelmed
