Caesar 'Sneezy' Smith is a 9-year-old Rat terrier Dog in Indianapolis, IN, who needs $2,000 for Emergency bladder surgery.

Caesar was a stray wandering my mom's neighborhood. She sent me his picture and I fell in love at first sight! We've been together 7 years now, and he's truly my best buddy. He's smart, spunky and feisty — much mightier than his size suggests. I recently adopted another rat terrier named Daisy, and he's bonded with his sister. He cleans her every day and plays sheriff when she's not behaving.

Caesar loves a cozy bed, and he's often found sleeping belly up with his paws in the air. He loves walks, of course, playing with all his toys, and hangin' with mom and demanding belly rubs. He's extremely smart and is good at communicating exactly what he wants. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but he recently learned roll over at around age 9!

Caesar has lots of nicknames, but the most popular is Sneezy. He gets so excited when I come home that he smiles and then gets into a sneezing attack. He has endless funny terrier quirks. He loves walks but doesn't appreciate runners one bit, so I have to keep him close when one goes by so they don't get an ankle nip. He loves bath time and a good blow dry after, followed by some zoomies.

Caesar is currently in the vet hospital. He had emergency surgery for bladder stones - one that was completely blocking his urethra and threatening his kidney function. He's not out of the woods yet because he also had sepsis, but he's recovering & holding steady. I'll pay any amount to get him better, but the vet bills are at about $12,000 & growing, and I'm running out of funding sources to tap

I had some savings, but certainly not enough to cover vet bills this large. I've also reached my limit with Care Credit. I just want to be able to pay for all the care needed to bring my boy home. He is so loved!
