About this campaign

After loosing my rory girl (chocolate lab/boarder collie mix) from a brutal attack by a mtn lion, I was determined to find a chocolate lab puppy that needed a home.
After searching for months, I finally found goose. He was posted on Craigslist for free by the breeder because he has a disease called megaesophagus. He was very malnourished when I got him and was in desperate need of help/love.

Dealing with megaesophagus can be challenging, but if you set up the right meal plan and feeding schedule it's something that can be managed with alot of patience and time.
What the breeder didn't know/or tell me, is that goose has PRAA and surgery is the only option to remove the constricting ring around the esophagus.
Finding a local vet that can perform this surgery has been extremely hard.

Goose has been an absolute trooper through everything. He has the sweetest and kindest little soul and he deserves a chance at life. There's so many things I want to do with him and teach him, but unfortunately our days are spent 100% inside with little activity.
He is incredibly smart and so loyal. If he makes it through all of this I plan on training him to be a therapy dog.

Financially, I'm able to pay all the bills to manage megaesophagus. But to get surgery to fix PRAA I'd have to pay thousands of dollars. I work full time and going to school full time.Having to pay for $3,000-$6,000 surgery was not in my financial budget.
