Good Hank is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Chicago , IL, who needs $2,000 for Perineal Urethrostomy.

Good Hank was discovered on the evening of December 22,2019. He was in an alley behind a coffee shop next to a dumpster, snuggly wrapped in a towel and stuffed in a shoebox by those who discarded him. We took him to the nearest vet. He was covered in fleas and had worms. He also had trauma to his hind legs so he was unable to walk. Over the next few months we slowly nursed him back to health.

Hanky was taken to the ER last week after straining to urinate. He was given medication and put on a special diet plan to help. A few days passed and he was suddenly unable to produce urine. He was taken back to Premier Vet Group and had a catheter placed to help him clear his bladder. 4/6/2025 he was released. This morning we had to take him back in because his urethra was blocked yet again.

Right off the bat I knew Hanky would be the light of my life. A literal miracle who was abandoned by those who didn’t care. Anywhere I walk in my house he follows. If I’m lying down he’s either right on top of me nearly suffocating me with love or very close by. We never take our eyes off of each other. We understand each other on a level no other human could truly understand.

The initial ER visits with stay were about $4000. After resubmission this morning we were quoted at another $4000. It looks like Good Hank will need surgery and that will cost nearly $6000. I’m at my financial limit and am in desperate need of help to save my best friend.
