Jude is a 7 year old American Bulldog in Chugiak , AK, who needs $2,000 for Hip Surgery – Toggle Repair.

Jude is a 7-year-old American Bulldog/Mastiff mix. We adopted him from a shelter at age 2 after he was rescued from a dog hoarding situation. He lives indoors in a loving home and is my emotional support animal. We have one other dog who only trusts him, and they are very bonded. Jude is gentle, well-trained, and loved by everyone.

Jude dislocated his hip a few weeks ago. A closed reduction was attempted but failed due to soft tissue damage. His hip has remained dislocated while we waited for surgical implants. He now needs surgery to walk and live without pain. He is being treated at Susitna Animal Urgent Care.

Jude is gentle, calm, and loves everyone—kids, cats, and adults alike. He’s a certified emotional support animal and has passed advanced training. Children at the park give him treats and he happily does tricks for them. At home he is loving and patient, and he is the only dog our other rescue trusts.

We’ve already spent over $3,000 and maxed out CareCredit trying to help Jude. I can’t afford the surgery he needs to be pain-free. It would mean everything to keep him with us, happy and healthy, instead of facing pain or losing him because of money.
