Chapo is a 1-year-old German Shepard Mix in Colorado Springs, CO, who needs $2,000 for Blockage Removal.

We got Chapo at only a couple months old. He was born December 22nd 2022, we took him home February 18th 2023. He has a basket full of toys that he never chews up or destroys. His favorite treats are peanut butter flavored.

Chapo plays very well with other dogs and cats. He’s sweet and gentle around people and children alike. He never bites or plays rough. He rarely barks or growls at anyone or anything.

Chapo is special because he is and always was the biggest sweetheart. Anyone could approach him and pet him without being worried or intimidated by him. He makes people smile everywhere he goes. His good behavior and calm nature are praised by everyone he came in contact with. He loves cuddling and playing with his toys. He’s a boy that always loves having love and attention.

Chapo changed the end of December when he refused to eat. We took him to a vet who accused us of not feeding him and calling Animal Law Enforcement on us. After following up with a different vet a couple days later because of the continuing situation we were told he actually had a blockage in his intestines which was preventing him from digesting/taking in food. He is now needing urgent surgery.

We need money at the moment because the first vet bill with a really bad vet cost over $600 for them to find nothing wrong with him and send us home. The second vet was over $400 to get a check up and X-rays. His surgery will vary from $3000-$6000.
