Echo is a 9-year-old Husky/Golden Mix in Saint Louis, MO, who needs $2,000 for CCL Knee Surgery.

Echo currently resides in Saint Louis, with his human mom, dad, and brother. He has a good sized fenced in yard to play with his fur-sister, Aria. Just two months ago, we tragically lost our oldest fur baby and pack leader, Alpha, and that has been a tough loss for everyone, including Echo.

Echo is the king of chill. He has a dedicated corner of the kitchen with his name on it, and rotates between that corner and the couch. He is everyone's favorite, as the sweetest and most mild tempered boy with a goofy smile and heart of gold. While Echo is the ultimate couch potato, he loves to spend time outside in the snow, running around with his fur sister.

Echo is our emotional support dog, especially for our 8 year old human, Benny. Echo has been raised right beside Benny, and they are each other's best friend. Echo has the goofiest howl when you rile him up, and it brings smiles to everyone's faces. He is so soft and fluffy, and a wonderful cuddler.

The surgery is $4,400 with additional MRI/Xray around $300 during the 6 week follow up. He has confirmed torn CCL's in both hind knees, and prefers not to put weight on his left leg. Echo needs surgery on both legs, but the left is most urgent and we don't have the funds to put $9,000 on a credit card.

We are still paying off emergency bills from the passing of our Shepherd 2 months ago. Echo absolutely needs this surgery to improve and extend his quality of life. Our 8 year old is so sad to see his dog in pain, and Echo has so much life left!
