Cow is a 2-year-old Miniature Schnauzer in Bessemer, AL, who needs $1,000 for Obstruction Surgery.

My first schnauzers was phoebe which is Cows mom. She got pregnant and I raised Cow ever since. And Phoebe is still the momma and runs the house. I decided to name him Cow because my niece saw him and said “he looks like a moo moo” and still to this day we call him moo moo or Cow.

Cow has brought so much joy and pure happiness to my life. He is the sweetest and most loving dog I’ve ever had or been around. He’s like my shadow, where I am he is too. He loves to run outside and loves when we go in our long walks and hikes.

Cow has the cutest personality. A while ago he noticed the ceiling fan for the first time and he did not care for it at all. And every once in a while he will glance up at it if he’s done something he’s not suppose to. It’s almost like he’s telling on himself. He truly is the sweetest dog and I cherish our moments together.

This past week Cow started vomiting and just was not acting like himself. I took him to the vet and they did some blood work and X-rays, but everything came back normal. The two days after that vet visit, Cow would not eat/ drink or go to the bathroom. Then he started vomiting again so I took him to the emergency vet. He had to have emergency surgery and is still there recovering.

Unfortunately, I do not have financial help and I’m having to take this on by myself. I live paycheck to paycheck on a fixed income. Cow is the absolute joy of my life and I would do almost anything to keep him healthy.
