Jethro is a 3.8-year-old Great Dane in Moberly, MO, who needs $1,800 for Laryengeal Surgery.

Jethro entered my life, thanks to his awesome breeder, Lori. Lori knew that I had just lost Elijah (great Dane) and wanted me to have another companion. She gave him to me free. She knew I would do anything for him and love him immensely. I've had him since he was 8months old. He instantly became a perfect family member and loved!

Jethro "chatters" his teeth, like a cold child. It was incredibly adorable so I've encouraged it. Now he chatters when he wants to be cute. He can't purr like a cat but he will groan like an old man when I scratch him. Jethro loves walks and was instantly the best walking buddy but he's been Ill so we haven't went in a long time. He's a sweet cuddler who hates to be covered up.

Jethro has a PERFECT cross on his chest, which means, "his excellence." Since my last dog was named after a biblical name, Jethro seemed fitting. He's such a sweet and well mannered dog that I instantly fell in love with! He's shy and lacks confidence. I wish he wasn't so nervous but he's the best dog ever!

About two months ago I had taken him into an emergency veterinary clinic who said he had allergies. I brought him to a different clinic a week or two later because something didn't seem right. They prescribed antibiotics but weren't sure what for, hoping to clear his fever. I then took him to a specialist and found out the seriousness of his proper diagnosis.

I had $2000 of a tax refund that was used on vet bills. Right now, I was late on mortgage, may lose service on my phone, and am in desperate need of vet funds. I work hard, and I'm desperate for help.
