Falcor is a 9-year-old Mixed in Colorado Springs, CO, who needs $567 for first the full work-up and diagnostics followed by a treatment plan.

I am writing this on behalf of my disabled son and his dog, (my “Grand-dog”), Falcor.

Falcor was a rescue dog from the Colorado Springs shelter in 2014, when he was estimated to be 2 years old. He was an “owner surrendered” dog. He has been an excellent dog, and has fulfilled his intended purpose of providing emotional support and stability for my son, even though not an official companion animal.

My son receives SSDI payments, and is able to work only about 20 hours a week, (due to his disability), at minimum wage, and can barely cover his baseline expenses, even though he just rents a 10x10 room in someone else's home. As his father, I live in another state, am retired, and cannot cover this expense. (I did pay the first vet over $200.)
Falcor is great with the other man and his 2 cats.

He is exhibiting shaking and chest heaving and panting, which comes and goes. We took him to the regular vet, she looked at his heart with their sonogram equipment. She believes there is a valve in the heart that may be torn, or malfunctioning, but recommended we take Falcor to an animal cardiologist. We contacted PetCardia and they charge $576 for a complete work-up.

Falcor loves everyone, whether on a walk, or visiting the house, and anywhere and everywhere. He has NEVER even attempted to bite anyone or any other animal. He craves attention and love, and will always "paw request" you to pet him, and snuggles up to my son when relaxing or sleeping. He gets excited when the leash is grabbed, but now we know he needs to be kept calmed as much as possible.
