Clyde Nichols is a 3-year-old Bassett & Great Dane Mix in Tucson, AZ, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Left Leg.

2 1/2 years ago, Clyde came into our life when we needed him the most. Our 12 year old dog had brain cancer and passed away 2 weeks after diagnosis. This was all during Covid and we were heartbroken and lonely. We were told about 6 month old Clyde and immediately fell in love with him. He was rescued from a house that was hoarding many animals. Many, including Clyde, were starving.

Clyde is like one of our children. He has freewill to play outside thru and doggie door or the comfort of one of his two beds that are his to choose.

Clyde has many friends! we walk with a group of dog owners every day, approximately 2 miles, who are his friends. Many come to our home for sleepovers.

We took Clyde to have X-rays on his legs because he was limping, primarily on his right leg. X-rays revealed both ACL's had tears and a broken femur that did not heal properly. All this before we adopted him at 6 months. I can't imagine what he went through to have these injuries. This poor thing has had so much trauma in his first 6 months.

My husband and I are on social security, with a limited savings account. We did pay for the surgery on his right leg (TPLO) $6400. Now his left leg needs to be repaired and we don't know where else to turn.
