Kobe is an 8 month old German shepherd puppy in Janesville , WI, who needs $2,000 for elbow displaysia.

My boy Kobe can into our family as a puppy. He is so gentle and loving. Just a great big baby. I have a younger Shepard as well as a Yorkie and he gets along with them so well. He is training and hasn’t been able to go due to his leg and him limping. I will do anything for this dog. He is part of our family if even for the short time he has been with us.

He loved to run in the back yard and in the pool. He wouldn’t hurt anything. He mostly loves my daughter and will follow her around and whine if he can’t find her or she is behind a closed door. He is so gentle with our little dog and will basically let her do anything to him while he just sits there and takes whatever the Yorkie gives him.

He loves playing with toys and with the other dogs. He is so laid back he would do anything for us. He gets new toys monthly and just loves new toys. He always makes me smile when I come home to see him. He tries to get as close to me as possible so the other dogs won’t come by me. Lays next to me in bed.

Kobe was playing with our other Shepard and he let out a scream that I will remember forever. I told him to the vet they sedated him and took X-rays they found out that he has elbow displaysia and that it was congenital and he is only 8 months old and will need surgery. My baby is only 8 months old and will have leg problems the rest of his life. At least with surgery he can live normally.

I am a single mother working full time and live pay check to paycheck. I don’t have much of an emergency fund and I can’t apply for credit. Kobe needs this surgery or it will be worse for him in the future.
