Haru is a 6 month old Bull Terrier in Thornton, CO, who needs $1,161 for Foreign Object Obstruction/Surgery.

We adopted Haru 4 months ago. He's a very loving, very stubborn, happy puppy that we've raised since he was 11 weeks old. As college students, we make sure Haru has all his food, toys, and goes on different excursions since we live on somewhat of a budget.

Since we adopted Haru, he has struggled with frequent bouts of diarrhea every other week or so. Over the past few days, it has grown more severe with bloody stools, lethargy, and a diminished appetite. Now hospitalized, our pupper is needing surgery to remove a foreign object in his intestines to avoid them from rupturing and losing him in the process.

Haru is a special boy that barks at anything with wheels or that outputs air. Some of his past times include chasing the vacuum, doing parkour on the furniture, and going on car rides with mom and dad. He's extremely smart, defying all puzzles and obstacles that go before him. At the end of the day, he likes tummy scratches as he falls asleep.

Myself and Haru's mom are both in college, but she is in the middle of a job transition and I work part-time given my own health issues. Our finances have taken a hit with the sudden vet bills. As a 6 month old lovebug, we want him to be with us healthily for years to come.
