Cobain is a 5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix in Albuquerque, NM, who needs $1,000 for x-rays and fractured bone treatment.

I’ve had Cobain for 4 years now. I found him at a shelter, and just knew he was the dog for me. We have such an incredible bond, we help each other with our anxieties and sadness. I would do anything for this dog, he’s my pride & joy, I’m so proud of him. I was unfortunately caught without insurance but normally I’m a very conscientious pet parent who takes him for regular checkups. Please help.

He’s a sweet dog and such a trooper, his sitter said he’s the best dog she’s ever watched. He loves playing with other dogs, going to Starbucks for puppocinnos, and every now and then I catch him and my cat cuddling. He didn’t even give the vet any trouble, he’s such a good boy. He gets along with everyone, and I sleep soundly at night knowing he would never let anyone hurt me.

Like I said, I normally have things under control but recently had a death in the family & also had to escape an abusive situation with my family so I left the state with my necessities and $1500. I’m still trying to get back on my feet but I’m doin my best to be productive.

I took him to VCA in Albuquerque when he was hit this morning and they assessed that his leg will need more treatment over the next month or 2 and they want to do more x rays so that they can make sure he doesn’t have any other injuries. Besides that all of his vet visits have been routine care such as vaccines and teeth cleanings. I was able to pay for his scripts so he is not in pain currently.

He loves to talk to me, he makes me smile everyday. I love when he gets the zoomies and flies around the yard. I wanna see him do that again. He’s very patient with kids and puppies. He loves stuffed animals and picks them out himself at Petsmart. Even with his injury he’s still so gentle and calm, not snapping at anyone.
