Church is a 10 month old Mix-Breed in LOUISVILLE, KY, who needs $1,300 for Neutering and Docking.

Church came to me via a friend who breeds her great Pyrenees and Poodle. He lives in our home with a big backyard for him to run it. At 10 month old he is 85 lbs and requires a whole bunch of room to run about.

Church has been diagnosed with happy tail and it's severe. After trying to treat it for over a month, the vet is needing to dock his tail. I know docking is taboo but he is in a lot of pain. We aren't able to brush his tail and his doodle fur is now matted. He bites out of pain and at this point we are only able to utilize an Elizabethan collar to try and prevent bleeding and tissue damage.

Church will be training as a service dog for me. We are finishing basic training and will be starting specialization training once he gets a bit older. He also lives with our goofy old cats who all get along and play together.

I am a 33 year old disabled woman who is unable to work. I got sick around 2017 and I lost my first dog at 12 last July and we got Church a few days later in July. He has helped me in many ways and I just want him to be pain free again.
