Butch is a 8 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in New Haven, VT, who needs $12,500 for Surgical Removal of a Small Intestine Obstruction.

Butch was rescued from New York and has spent much of his life as a bit of a traveling dog before we finally settled in Vermont. He now lives in a loving home with three children and two other dogs, Josie and Charlie, who he is very close with.

He has a gentle, affectionate personality and is especially wonderful with our kids. Butch loves being part of the family.

Butch developed vomiting and loss of appetite earlier in the week. Initial treatment for an upset stomach was unsuccessful, and further diagnostics confirmed a small intestine obstruction. He required emergency surgery and is now receiving ongoing care at Burlington Emergency & Veterinary Specialists (BEVS).

Butch is incredibly gentle, loving, and deeply connected to our family. He has a calm and affectionate personality and is especially wonderful with our children. He loves being close to us, whether it’s relaxing at home, going for car rides, or getting excited for walks. He also shares a strong bond with our other dogs, Josie and Charlie. He truly brings comfort, joy, and happiness into our home.

After two back-to-back pet emergencies, including an $8,400 bill that drained our savings, we cannot cover Butch’s $11,500 care. Getting him healthy again would mean everything. He is family and brings so much love and comfort to our home.
