Help Sunny Stay Active and Pain-Free

After a veterinary evaluation, Sunny was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and began receiving medication and veterinary care to help manage his discomfort. But medication alone isn't enough. To improve his mobility and quality of life, Sunny needs ongoing physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, and shockwave therapy.

His recommended treatment plan is expected to cost approximately $2,577.

Paws 4 A Cure is generously providing a $300 grant toward Sunny's care. His mom is contributing what she can, but she still hopes to raise $2,000 to help ensure financial limitations don't prevent Sunny from receiving the treatment he needs.

Sunny isn't just a beloved pet—he is his mom's best friend, constant companion, and family.

“Sunny is my sweet 5-year-old dog and my best friend. Earlier this summer, I began noticing changes that made me concerned he was experiencing pain. After taking him to the veterinarian, I learned that Sunny has moderate hip dysplasia and has been experiencing significant pain despite his happy and incredibly stoic personality.

He has since received veterinary care and medications to help manage his pain, but he still needs ongoing treatment through Red Sage Integrative Veterinary Partners to help improve his comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

Sunny came into my life five years ago and has been by my side through so many major changes. Most recently, he made the journey across the country with me as I pursued graduate school in Colorado. No matter how difficult or stressful life becomes, Sunny is the constant presence waiting for me at home. He is my family, my best friend, and one of the biggest reasons I keep pushing forward even on my hardest days. He protects me even though he is scared himself.

I want nothing but the very best for Sunny, but right now I cannot afford to provide all of the treatment I wish I could give him without help. I am a full-time graduate student and work through internships and research assistant positions, but the limited hours and low pay make it difficult to cover my living expenses while also managing the growing cost of Sunny's veterinary care.

Asking for help is difficult, but Sunny means the world to me, and I want to do everything within my ability to give him the care he deserves.”

“Any assistance toward Sunny’s treatment would mean more to us than I can express. Thank you so much to anyone who chooses to donate, share his story, or simply keep Sunny in your thoughts. Your kindness will help give my best friend the opportunity to feel more comfortable, stay mobile, and continue being the happy, loving dog who has brought so much joy into my life.”

Sunny is only 5 years old, and with the right ongoing care, he has so much more life to live. He deserves the chance to run, play, explore, and enjoy his days without being limited by pain.

💜 Will you help Sunny get the treatment he needs?
