King is a 8-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier in Smallwood, NY, who needs $2,000 for TPLO's.

I adopted King from my son, George. I was terrified initially due to the breed and having a cat. Well, King stole my heart about 2 weeks later. King was 2 at the time, easily trained and listened well. We lived in Myrtle Beach at this time. We moved home in July 2014 back to N.Y. King fell in a manhole while George was walking him and strained his right knee. King has had 2 failed surgeries.

I suffer from severe depression, King has been by my side and I love my fur son immensely. We have gone through and gotten through so much together. I want him to have his BEST life. King is having issues with urinating like a male so now King is at squatting. We were walking the other day and I though he was going to go to the bathroom when in fact his knee gave out. King is 80 pds.

I had COVID-19 for 3 weeks. I am a front line worker and reduced work hours. I can't afford to pay for the much more successful surgeries on my own. I'm still paying for the 1st 2. King is an absolute heart and I want to give King a quality of life.

King fell in a manhole in 2017 during the winter while my son was walking him. I paid for and am still paying for the 2 failed surgeries. King is in great health and has a great prognosis for the metal implants both knees. King has been evaluated by Blue Pearl in Paramus N.J. and it would be a successful ending and beginning for both of us. The veterinarian's name is: Jennifer J. Bonczynski DVM.

Yes, King is extremely personable with his wiggle butt, King plays twister as well. King is my amazing companion. King loves to steal the neighbor's ball and they are aware and find it cute, so they leave them for him to "Steal". King will initially intimidate people due to his breed and size once they meet him they love him. King educates people and their not even aware. Bullies are a great breed
