Hank is a 12 Year Old Mix-Breed in Seven Valleys, PA, Who Needs $500 for Osteoarthritis and Collapsed Trachea.

Hank is an Australian labradoodle that came into my life almost 13 years ago as my second service dog. After a battle with cancer he was retired at 10 years old. He now lives a quiet life resting at home with his furry brothers and sisters. He is my entire world.

Hank has had a relatively healthy life up until he was just shy of 10 when he has a large cancerous mass removed on his back and a small tumor removed on his foot that was also removed. But within the last few years he has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis from his years of working, severe reflux and the beginning stages of a collapsed trachea. He is currently a patient at Jarrettsville Vet.

Hank and I have an incredible bond being as he was and will always be my service dog and we are glued at the hip. He absolutely loves his large stuffies that he lugs around everywhere. He loves going in the car to go get pup cups. He was also featured in the newspaper for giving me my sedation medication for one of my surgeries.

I am fully disabled and unable to work so the financial responsibility falls onto my parents which is sometimes very difficult. My mom is currently in between jobs so our income has decreased. Hank will never be my young guy again but I just want to make him comfortable.
