About this campaign

Indiana Jones is a wonderful 5 yr old Shar-pei we got as a puppy. We got him a few months after our other Shar-pei passed away. About a year later our daughter adopted his mom so, they see each other often . Last year my other daughter adopted his sister so they all get to play together often. 2 yrs ago we went to a shelter and adopted another shar-pei that was cross eyed.

Indiana loves to sit out on the front porch. He is out there winter and summer loves to watch the cars go by. He has has friends who come past to see him outside. He is very independent and likes his own space. He has taken over our granddaughters bed as his favorite bed. He loves his walk everyday and will remind us if we forget. He is a Mama's boy and will sit by me now that he is hurt.

We are retired on a fixed income. We have been to 3 vets so far in 7 weeks and have paid a lot to diagnose the problem. Indy is visibly in pain and limping. It breaks my heart to see him try to get up steps and be in constant pain. We are trying to get him the best help

Indy went for a walk with my husband and they were attacked by a stray dog and in the tussle, he was tore his ACL in his back leg. We went to one vet to diagnose the problem . Then we were sent to an orthopedic surgeon that charges $4000.00. We did some research and found a surgeon that will perform a less invasive surgery for about $1500.00 at White Oak Vet. Over $1000. so far in visits

Indy is a bit of a loner and doesn't much like toys but he loves his bone treats. He is good when his dog friends come over but 5 minutes later he wants to go outside. He has the most beautiful light brown eyes and curly tail and the shar- pei black tongue. When he was young I started to give him a massage at night to get him used to being touched on his legs and paws and he still loves that.
