Gunner is a 8-year-old Spaniel Mix in Wethersfield , CT, who needs $1,800 for Emergency Surgery for 6” Wound & Infection.

I’m raising money for my dog Gunner. Here is a little bit about us. Gunner is an 8-year-old spaniel mix. My mom rescued him after he was abandoned in an apartment as a puppy. He was my mom’s baby, spoiled beyond imagination. When my mom passed from cancer in 2018, he came to live with me. Fast forward to the tragic day of April 8th 2023. He was attacked by neighbors dog off leash.

He is spoiled beyond belief. He sleeps on his nice comfy bed. He loves to go on walks and be outside. He loves his bones. He’s so full of energy and spunk even after being abandoned by his original owners he just loves you unconditionally. He loves to play especially tug of war every day I come home from work he’s there waiting to greet me tail wagging and happy he loves people and stuffed animals

He is so special to me because it was my mothers dog and she passed away from cancer in may of 2018. It’s the last thing I have that reminds me of my mom and how full of life she was and how much love and joy she had to offer the world. Every day I come home and see him it makes me smile and think of my mom who was very special to me so full of life like gunner. Every day I look at him I see her.

The dog that attacked my baby lunged and latched at his throat, causing a 6-inch-deep wound. Gunner has had 2 surgeries and needs a third, he has an infection around the 6in wound that the antibiotics aren’t touching. We have incurred $3000 in vet bills so far and the vet estimated the next surgery will be anywhere between 2k-4k.

I’ve spent already 3k which was everything I had saved up and I have nothing left to save his life. I’ve already lost my mother to a tragic illness I can’t lose him too. My home would be empty along with my heart and life. It would mean everything to save his life.
