Support George’s Emergency Surgery and Post-Op Care Costs

George is a 30 lb sweet boy who came to Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption after being surrendered due to his owner’s health issues. His owner reported he had a known history of urinary problems and was previously on a prescription urinary diet.

From the moment he arrived, George quickly won everyone over with his calm, loving personality. Despite his sweet nature, it was clear he had been struggling with significant medical issues, including severe obesity and underlying urinary concerns that required immediate attention. By the following morning, he was found in severe discomfort with blood present and clear signs of a serious urinary emergency.

He was immediately taken to the veterinarian, where initial treatment with antibiotics and a prescription diet was started. However, his condition continued to decline, and it quickly became clear that emergency intervention was required to save his life.

George was rushed into emergency bladder surgery just days ago to relieve a life-threatening urinary obstruction. The surgery was successful, and he is now safely recovering back in the care of Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption.

This fundraiser is to help cover the cost of George’s life-saving emergency surgery, hospitalization, diagnostics, and ongoing post-operative care. These critical medical expenses have already been incurred Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption , and continued support is still needed as he heals. George still requires medications, monitoring, and recovery support to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.

Despite everything, he remains the sweetest boy—affectionate, gentle, and deeply loved by the rescue team caring for him. Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption remains fully committed to his recovery, and your support helps offset the cost of the emergency surgery and ongoing care that gave George a second chance.
