Jake is a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees/Blue Heeler in Jeffersonville, IN, who needs $2,000 for Broken Leg.

I rescued Jake from a somewhat puppy mill situation where he was tied to a tree at four months old. Jake is now like a child to me. He is my everything I would do absolutely anything for this animal. I ended up getting Jake trained to be a diabetic service dog for myself as I am type one diabetic. Jake has saved my life more times than I can count. And now it’s my time to save his.

Jake’s life in our house is pretty much as follows. It is his house I just live in it lol. I called my mother grandmother to him and he knows my mom is grandmother now, so when I tell him grandmother is coming over, he goes crazy looking out the window waiting for her to show up

Jake is almost human. He has been trained as a diabetic service dog for myself as I am type one diabetic and have been for 39 years. My sugar tends to drop without me knowing it and he alerts me when my sugar starts to drop.

Jake started limping a couple days ago and it has gotten worse so while inspecting his leg, he started to whine a little bit as I touched it so I am thinking he has a broken front leg. I am a 50-year-old male whom is on disability and just had open heart surgery two months ago so I am needing help and getting some veterinary care for my service dog.

I seem to care about my dog more than I do myself. It breaks my heart to see him in such pain and me, knowing that I don’t have the financial stability. My dog Jake is a member of the family and I feel so sorry for him.
