Jameson is a 8-year-old Australian Shepherd in Arlington, TX, who needs $2,000 for TPLO.

Jameson came into our lives in 2014 as a new puppy. He is just what the boys and I needed as we embarked on our new lives. Jamey instantly became our fierce protector. He has taken on a police officer persona. We are pretty sure if he were a human he would be a cop. Nothing gives him greater joy than to protect and serve.

He is a gentle leader for the hothead chiweenie and the goofy doodle. He protects me 24/7. He follows me around the house constantly and when I leave he waits by the door for me to come home. When the boys leave, he sleeps down in the hallway by his room. We are definitely his sheep that the herds and protects.

Jamey is the best boy. He loves guarding his domain, also known as our backyard. Squirrels are not welcome here and he makes sure they know it. He loves playing “get off my porch” with his doodle sister. She runs around the porch while he barks at her as he guard the perimeter. She is happy as she can be and he loves it too!

Jamey began having a limp in December. He has been on pain meds and anti inflammatory meds for over a month. The vet referred us to an orthopedic surgeon for a TPLO. This is to repair the ligament in his knee. We want Jamey to be pain free. It is heart breaking to watch such an athletic dog strain to get to standing and to limp around.

We would love the help as we have had 3 human surgeries to pay for in the last 1-2 years. Mom is in school and we have one kid that will be in college school. Any help would alleviate some of the financial burden.
