Elton is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Groton, CT, who needs $2,000 for Laminectomy -Complex Ruptured Herniated Disc.

Elton came into our life four years ago this December. My son found him on Petfinder when looking for a dog to rescue. We went and met him at the rescue and it was love at first sight. Elton is the sweetest and most fun and energetic dog, I know. he has added so much love and companionship since he joined our family. Elton is a brother to our cat, two bunnies, two birds and lots of fish.

Elton was a healthy dog full of vibrant and love. Elton was taken to his vet the day before the worse all happened. He was x-rayed and his colon showed he was impacted so they gave an enema. That night, he woke up and was moaning in pain. And lost all function of his back legs. I rushed him to Pieper Memorial Hospital, where emergency care was given due to a herniated disc that ruptured.

Elton loves to play soccer. He loves to play outside chasing birds and just running And having zoomies! he came into our lives at a time where we all needed love, and companionship. He has been through the ups and downs of our lives. He has helped my kids and I through happy and sad times he is always here to greet us, give us a lick and just be loving cuddling Elton. he loves chips and sports.

Elton needed surgery immediately. Being a single mom & raising two children, one which will start college in the fall. My finances are very strapped with no money to spare. I had to borrow from my recently widowed mother to get him to help he needed. Financial help is needed
