Jagger is a Golden Retriever puppy in New Haven, CT, who needs $2,000 for emergency care for vomiting, diaphragmatic hernia, pneumothorax, and gastric perforation.

Jagger is our 18 week old beautiful playful puppy who we recently adopted for our family. He loves to play with his toys and he is very active. He is a happy silly young pup who loves our toddler, we could not think of having to give him up and separate them because of financial concerns. He is an important member of our family already!

Jagger loves everyone he meets! He has won the hearts of every staff member at Central Veterinary Hospital in Guilford CT. Even while weak and sick fighting for his life he manages to tip his little tail. While struggling to breathe he will give a small lick to the nurses faces. He is such a fighter through everything. He is not willing to give up, neither are we.

Jagger started vomiting, we took him to Central Veterinary Hospital in Guilford CT for emergency care. We were worried he ingested parts of a toy which the Dr. confirmed on x-ray. Fluids and treatments were started that night. The next day, Jagger became much worse in needed to go into emergency surgery to save his life.

Once Jagger was taken into surgery, the surgeon found a Diaphragmatic hernia, gastric perforation with contents leaking into his chest resulting in infection. pneumothorax was noted and he had bilateral chest tubes placed. Jagger has been in the hospital for over 1 week. He continues to improve daily.

Our family has raised $3500 to put down as deposit to save our sweet puppy. The bill has grown to over $12,000. This is a huge financial hard ship for our young family and we would appreciate any help.
