Kumo is a 1 year old Chow Chow in Sutton, MA, who needs $2,993 for TPLO Surgery.

I was blessed with Kumo in May of 2025. He joins Luna, my 3 1/2 year old Chow Chow. The 2 became fast friends, Luna, like a mother to Kumo & Kumo, a shadow to Luna. Kumo LOVES water of all kinds: sprinklers, garden hoses, & swimming in lakes (not a typical chow in this regard)! A perfect day for Kumo and Luna includes hiking, swimming, and laying in the shade on the porch!

After a walk, Kumo & Luna went sprinting around the back of the house only seconds later to return with Kumo limping (holding his back left leg completely off the ground). After rest and leash walking for a few weeks, with no improvement (non-weight bearing), I learned that Kumo needs cruciate ligament TPLO surgery in order to have use of this leg and to avoid the pain he continues to be in.

Kumo loves children of all ages! He gets quite vocal with his "grumbles" when he's excited & wants to play. He is very smart and well behaved and has great recall. He knows kisses & sit in Polish. He and Luna are joined at the hip and he is a total mama's boy. His injury not only breaks my heart as his "mom", but Luna shows concern as well, and isnt quite sure why he can't play like before.

In the past few years I have experienced chronic health issues that have created an extreme financial burden. Unfortunately, I am still receiving treatment which makes it difficult to manage my own finances and also Kumo's surgery. It would mean so much to receive some help!
