Jasper is a 10-year-old Miniature Pinscher in Elburn, IL, who needs $2,000 for jaw surgery.

Jasper came into my life 10 years ago when he was 12 weeks old and after I lost my 3 1/2 legged Tipsy. So I guess you can say that he rescued me. When we were trying to come up with a name, my daughter was thinking something from Harry Potter. That is when I decided to name him after my favorite Twilight character.
Jasper goes up stairs backwards.

Jasper likes to run off but never goes far. All I have to do is set off my car alarm and he comes running back because he thinks he's going for a car ride. He sleeps in 4 places: with me...on one of his beds...in his mancave..or the laundry basket. He won't go out if it is raining because he hates to get wet, but he loves to play in the snow. His favorite foos pizza and his favorite treat is FD minnows

This was an unexpected issue that I have no savings for. Jasper was my physical therapy assistant after my knee replacements(he kept me walking). It kills me that I'm unable to help him get this taken care of as soon as possible. Jasper is my best friend. Jasper has developed an aggressive tumor in his mouth that is just going to keep on growing. It is not bothering him yet but the bigger it gets it will. It could eventually become hard for him to eat or drink. He is being treated at Veterinary Dental Center. I live alone and Jasper is my world.

Jasper loves my daughter, but when her husband is around nobody exists...lol. He has a "friend" Sasha. I come home from work to the BEST greetings. Then we go for a walk or to his favorite park. Jasper has 2 baskets full of toys because he gets barkbox. Sometimes we share them with his "cousins" at my daughter's. He likes to "help" with laundry dry by laying on the pile of hot clothes.
