Kenji is a 11 month old Mix-Breed in Decatur, IL, who needs $2,000 for Soft Tissue Surgery.

We rescued Kenji and his brother Oso from a poor living situation where they had to fight to eat. We brought him home at about 8 weeks old and have given him and his brother the love they deserve. They have learned their food is theirs and they no longer have to be the first to the bowl. Kenji got his name from the Japanese meaning of strong.

Kenji’s illness showed signs on July 22nd prior to finally finding out the issue. Our family had been traveling from vet to vet with them all doing test after test to tell us there was something showing in his radiographs but not know what it was. We have finally found out that surgery was urgent. He had intussusception where his intestine was moving into the other intestine blocking his GI.

Kenji loves to play with his brother. He loves to chase balls. His favorite part is when he puts us on high chase to try to retrieve the toys from him. He is usually a very active and playful pup.

I had the ability to pay a majority of the vet bills. Due to the extensive amount of visits due to unknowing of the cause each vet charged. At the end I was then put into a bind with another large estimate for surgery after my finances had been depleted.
