Goblin is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Coon Rapids, , who needs $4,000 for X-rays, Pain Medication, Sedative and TPLO Surgery.

Goblin came to us as our Secondhand Hounds foster (now The Bond Between) in October of 2021. He was a very anxious guy, but he got along great with our resident dog, Roo. After a few rough meet and greets with potential adopters, it became obvious that meeting new people was very stressful for him and we decided to welcome him into our home permanently so he could have a stable place to flourish.

In the SPRING of 2025, we noticed Goblin limping on his left rear leg, and took him to be evaluated. We had x-rays done and discovered it was likely a torn CCL, and that it was recommended he have TPLO surgery. We were able to get him TPLO surgery on 9/30/25 at Rice Creek Animal Hospital in Lino Lakes, MN. At the time of his x-rays, it was also discovered he had arthritis in his back.

Goblin is such a sweet boy, once he has learned he can trust you, which takes a while. The discovery of arthritis in his back (from a previous, unknown injury before he came to us) helped explain a lot of his guarded behavior, as he's always disliked hard floors, and being touched near or around his rear end. But if you have his full and complete trust, he just melts into you!

We have a maxed out CareCredit due to Goblin's left leg TPLO surgery, and the failing health/loss of our 5 senior rats recently. We also know that Goblin's right leg is also starting to show signs of needing eventual TPLO surgery, as well as rehabilitation for his back pain.
