Hondo is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Saint peters, MO, who needs $2,000 for Cruciate Ligament Replacement.

At 3 months old, Hondo & his brothers were found by my bro-in-law being starved by their original owner. Since he had 2 dogs already, he could only keep 1, so my husband & I drove from Missouri to New Mexico to pick up Hondo & his brother, Louie. We fell in love instantly with how SWEET they were even though they were being treated so poorly. Now, they live in a loving home with a big backyard!

Hondo had some complications from the malnourishment including issues with how his bones grew and this along with his breed made him even MORE susceptible to torn ligaments. He now has torn ligaments in his back leg and a 90% chance of tearing the other leg' s ligaments.

Hondo is SO special because he came into our lives unexpectedly and at a time of grief. We lost our very first pup a few months prior and were struggling to fill the void in our lives. He is gentle, loving and gives the best snuggles! He loves to play outside, lay in the sun and play "tag" with his dog brother. He greets every new person with an actual smile and loves to be loved on!

We were not in a place to take on two dogs, but knew we had to give them a loving home. We are on a fixed income with only my husband able to work at this time, but we know we have to do this surgery so Hondo can live his BEST life & be able to run and jump with his brother!
