Kylo is a 2-year-old Akita in Hercules, CA, who needs $2,000 for TPLO - Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy.

I found my mom when I was 16 weeks. For 3 weeks my family didn't know what to call me. Nothing fit except a million nick-names! Mama called me Monkey (still does), Gammy called me Pupper, and Uncle Justin called me Jamal...etc. You get the idea.
My mom loves Star Wars so much that when she began calling me Kylo Ren it stuck! I've been with my family for more than 2 yrs. I'll be 3 yrs old 1/25/24.

I live with Mama, Gammy, Papa J, & Uncle Justin. Oh yeah & my BFF Oreo too. She's younger by 5 mos & thinks she's stronger, but I let her win (shhh secret). Sometimes Auntie Alyssa & Auntie Eden come over to visit (Mama's sis's). But my FAV is Auntie E's husband- TOPHER GOPHER. I generally like to play cat & mouse so they compete for my love. But Topher always gets the snugs 4 free. I love it!

I like to think I'm special because I'm an EXPERT in the silent treatment, but my family likes that I'm a lil bit of an Oaf (in a good way). I guess it's adorable? Each morning I trip over my toes to rub all over the carpet, then its time to nibs on Oreo's ankles . I don't show my affections too often but, I know it tugs their <3 strings when I check in, stare, & leave. Keep 'em guessin! RIGHT?!

We don't know what happened, but 2 weeks ago I started limping. Then a week after I switched legs. Mom took me to this Pawesome clinic - Pacific Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital, where Dr. T. Sellmeyer, DVM said I have a partial tear in my CCL and a luxating patella on my left leg. Why was I also limping on the right? Because my patella in that leg is poppin' outta place too.

Before I got hurt, Mama used her monies to pay for nursing school applications & Gammy broke her ankle & stopped working. Mom's been working 34 hrs/wk per job (2) to help, but now I need TPLO surgery. Mom thinks she can afford it in 3 mos, but I might get hurt more before.
