Hoyt is a 6 year old Weimaraner in Dearborn, MI, who needs $2,000 for Hemilaminectomy.

Hoyt is a 6 year old rescue and service dog for my brother-in-law. He has been with us since he was one. He is a rescue out of a home in Owasso, MI, where he was abandoned in his home and locked in a room and the family moved. He was rescued by Veteran Service Dogs organization in Howell, MI. He is a support dog for my brother-in-law who is a Veteran and current Police Officer.

On April 14th, Hoyt seemed like he wasn't himself. He didn't want to go upstairs or into bed. By Wednesday April 16th, I woke to Hoyt unable to move his back legs. I rushed him to our vet who then sent us to BluePearl Pet Neurology in Farmington, MI. He was diagnosed with a ruptured disc at L3-L4 and a hemorrhage above that at T11-13. Surgery was done today to repair his spine. We pray !!!!

While Hoyt is a Veteran Support Dog for my brother-in-law, Travis, he is a special dog for all of us. He is loved dearly. His newest role is as a big brother to his girl Rosie. She is a rescue pup we adopted from Rebel Dogs Detroit and Hoyt just adores her. We cannot imagine our life without Hoyt. The odds may have been against Hoyt, but he is the strongest dog I have ever met.

Our family experienced a house fire in 2021 and due to the complications with our insurance agency, the company sent by the insurance agency and our fraud contractor our family has never quite recovered. We still continue to push on and love as much as we can.
