Kipling is a 10 month old Mix-Breed in Peoria, IL, who needs $2,000 for Bowel Obstruction Surgery.

I was fostering another dog and saw a picture of new puppies that the foster group I worked with had received. He was absolutely adorable so I decided to foster him, with the intent on adopting him. My other foster hot adopted so it is now just Koa, my dog I already had, and Kipling.

Kipling is still a puppy and, as puppies do, he likes to chew and swallow things he's not supposed to. Upon returning home, we went to get him from his kennel and noticed he had vomited... a lot! He also vomited a large object, which we discovered was a sock. Over the course of the evening he vomited 3 more times, and was not very active. I called my vet, All Pets Vetinary Hospital, and took him in

Kipling is not just our dog, he is our baby. He likely needs surgery to remove what he has swallowed, and I'm not sure how to afford it in such a short amount of time. He is the sweetest boy and everyone who meets him loves him. He adds so much joy to our family, and it kills us to see him hurting.

This was very unexpected, and will be pricey! Not prepared for any of this, financially. I have finally started to pay down debt and then this happens... not blaming Kipling though, I just want him okay.
