Hodor is 3-year-old Pekingese in Newtown, CT, who needs $1,500 for a hemilaminectomy (spinal surgery which will allow the surgeon to manually go into the damaged area to manually decompress the spinal cord).

Our little Pekingese Hodor became partially paralyzed last week and needed spinal surgery - his only hope to ever walk again. Hodor has a serene, peaceful presence about him that is comforting to all. When he is in a playful mood, he can be quite the ferocious opponent for such a little guy. He loves to bounce around, protect his beloved green ball, and fall asleep on his back. He is a surprisingly good swimmer (not in the least a common trait for a Pekingnese) and can even fetch a small stick thrown in the water. We named him after a gentle soul in Game of Thrones because he has a similar gentle, peaceful soul. We are asking for donations to help pay for the balance due for his operation and treatment.
