Hickory is a 8 year old Beagle in Somerset, MA, who needs $2,000 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

Hickory came into our life 8 years ago as a rescue. When we first rescued him, he was very shy and hesitant around people, but he quickly warmed up. Hickory and I quickly became best friends and were inseparable. He has been and continues to be the most affectionate and loving dog to everyone he meets. He is truly the definition of a man’s best friend.

Hickory’s current medical condition is a CCL tear and will require surgery to repair. This one is especially difficult giving that he is a tripod pup and is now very limited on what he can/can’t do. Currently, we are working with Bay State Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Services. Hickory is such a tough pup and we know he will bounce back from this.

Hickory is such a people person. He loves everyone he comes in contact with but more than anything, he has a special bond with myself and his dog mom. He has been our best friend for so many years. He loves visiting all family members and gets so excited when they come over for visits. He loves when we come home & bring him more toys to play with and absolutely loves to be outside and go on walks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this was a sudden expense that we weren’t prepared for. Unfortunately we don’t have pet insurance and have to handle all expenses out of pocket. This isn’t a surgery that can wait on, so we didn’t have any time to save more money.
