Jax is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Columbus, OH, who needs $3,500 for Emergency Gallbladder Removal Surgery.

Jax came into my life the day he was born. I helped deliver him from his mom, held him as a tiny newborn, and he has been mine ever since. For 10 years, he has been my soul dog, my comfort, my shadow, and my heart outside my body. He has loved me through every season of my life, and I can’t imagine facing life without him.

Jax has severe gallbladder disease and has gotten worse quickly, with repeated vomiting and discomfort. His vet is concerned about a gallbladder mucocele, which can rupture and become life-threatening. He urgently needs gallbladder removal surgery called a cholecystectomy. The estimate is $9,000–$10,000, and time is critical.

Jax is a momma’s boy through and through—my soul dog, bonded to me from the very beginning. He’s like my child. He’s gentle, loves babies and people, and just wants to be close. He’s the biggest snuggle bug and my little bug-eyed boy. He adores his siblings and has such a loving heart. He’s not just a pet—he’s my family, and I’m not ready to lose him.

This was sudden and overwhelming. I’ve already used all available credit trying to get Jax care, and I don’t have the funds to cover a $9,000–$10,000 emergency surgery on my own. I’m doing everything I can, but I can’t do this alone. Saving Jax would mean everything to me.
