Chase is a 8 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Crystal Beach, FL, who needs $1,200 for FHO - Femoral Head Ostectomy.

We adopted Chase from the local shelter when we brought our daughter (who was 2 at the time) to see the dogs and he got along with her amazingly. Chase is around 8 years old and such a wonderful family dog. He sleeps with our oldest son, always listens to mom, plays with our middle child, loves to be next to dad, and lets Rowan dress him up. He got the nickname Princess because he acts like one!

Chase was hit by a car has suffered a dislocated leg. Unfortunately, 2 days after being put back in place, it dislocated again. We were informed that it now requires urgent surgery. Without this procedure, he may lose the ability to walk normally, run, or enjoy the playful life he’s always loved. Seeing Chase in pain & unable to move freely is heartbreaking.

Chase is patient, sweet and goofy! He lets our youngest dress him up & try to ride him. He’s earned the nickname Princess because he will only go potty if he’s buried deep in a bush, refuses to eat unless we “season” his food, and needs lots of blankets for bed. He loves morning walks with our oldest & nighttime walks with Dad. When mom talks to him, he barks joyfully. Chase is truly the best.

I recently lost my job & we do not have an emergency savings or credit cards to fall back on. The cost of his initial emergency visits to the vet cost us $2300 that we didn’t have to spare. To be unable to help him when he’s given us so much love is heartbreaking.
