Gordo is a 1-year-old Italian Greyhound Dog in Lincoln, NE, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

I got Gordo from a family friend and he's been such fun addition to our family. He has a brother Onyx which is a cat. They love playing together! He has such a fun personality yet takes plenty of naps. We wanted an older male name for him and landed on Gordo. If you've seen Lizzie McGuire, you'll understand! His white "socks" fit so well with his older name. His nickname is Gordo B.

Gordo loves sleeping with mom and dad since they are such cold dogs. He's always in a sweater if not curled up in a blanket. During the healing process, moms arms are the most calming! We LOVE going on walks and meeting new dogs! His favorite friend is his cat brother and his two friends Oliver and Gryffin! We love playing with our toys and learning new tricks! Mainly because he gets treats.

We live in Nebraska and Gordo is a true Husker Fan! We figured out he howls when mom says GO HUSKERS! He's being raised with a cat so he plays like one. He plays chase with my cat, which I cat usually starts. He has two other friends that play fetch quite often! My sister has his brother as well, so we take him with us every time we see her for a brother play date!

Gordo, jumped off a couch and landed wrong, breaking both of his front legs.. We took him to the emergency vet then scheduled surgery at Sirius Vet in Omaha. We will have weekly bandage changes for 4 week then a review to see the progress. This will be a 12 week minimum process but cuddles with mom has helped the most. Now I'm working from home to help during the healing process.

This was unexpected and with paying our surgery loan back the bandage changes range from $50-150 each week. We're seeking help to repay this loan and keep up with the weekly payments for appointments and medications. We'd like to do rehab as well if we could afford it.
