Captain Jack Sparrow is a 9 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi in Greenville, NC, who needs $8,000 for TLPO Surgery.

Captain Jack Sparrow joined our family on August 6, 2016 when he was 2 months old, and he has been with us his entire life. He and his brother, Captain William Turner (one year younger, half brother- same father) joined us the following year and they are the heart of our family. We want to give them the world because they have enriched our lives beyond measure.

Our vet referred us to Quartet Veterinary Hospital, and they are handling Jack's care; he is scheduled for TPLO surgery on his left leg. At our consultation appointment, x-rays showed that his right leg looks as bad as the left, and will probably need surgery as well once the left leg is healed. We didn't think his left leg was in such rough shape, and news of the right leg was a total shock.

Jack is smart, intuitive, loving, protective, sweet, caring, and so funny. He's always been our baby and makes us feel loved in a way we didn't know was possible. He is stoic and a really tough little guy, so seeing him struggling to move around the way he was able to before has been really difficult because we're doing everything we can, but we still want to do more.

This has happened quickly and unexpectedly. Jack is hurting and we want to do whatever we can to give him the best quality of life, so he can get back to doing all the things he loves. With surgery and vet care, $8000 is the the low end of what we're looking at for one leg.
