Dyson is a four-year-old Labrador in Forest Lake, MN, who needs $2,000 for urgent leg surgery.

Josh S. thought his family was complete. He and his partner adopted Dyson, a black Labrador, four years ago. The dog got along quite well with the couple's cats, and everyone settled into a happy routine and life. Then, Josh's partner passed away tragically, and Josh turned to his animals, especially Dyson, for comfort. "Dyson means everything to me. He was there the night my partner passed and will always be my best buddy."

As Josh started trying to put the pieces back together after his partner's death misfortunate struck again, Dyson hurt his leg playing in the yard and needs surgery to repair his ACL at Blue Sky Animal Hospital as soon as possible. Right now, Dyson is in pain, limping, and having trouble walking.

Unfortunately, Josh's lifestyle and income changed greatly after his significant other died, and he's having a tough time coming up with the money for Dyson's life-changing operation. "Living on a single income isn’t easy. I'm reaching out for help," Josh says.

Will you be Dyson's lifeline so he can get the surgery he needs?
