Lil' Bear is a 9 year old Labrador Retriever in Lebanon, MO, who needs $2,000 for Chiropractic, Meals, Pain Treatments, Medication.

Lil Bear has been a mobility service dog from 8wks for a mostly bed bound owner. Septic shock left me with multiple organ damage and a failing spine in excruciating pain barely able to walk. Lil Bear changed my life & saved my life twice. Overheating caused my medical fentanyl to overdose and I would begin to die.

Twice when I overdosed he rolled me off the bed to the freezer, opened it and held me next to the cold until I came back. Over the years our immobility has cause debilitating health issues for him. The wear on his bones & excess weight have left him in constant pain and unwilling to get up. He has tumor-like warts all over & he struggles to breathe.

Many time he refused to leave me to go with the dog walker. And as I became more mobile he was the only reason I could leave my home again. He is my best friend, my favorite nurse and I will do anything to care for him the way he has loved and cared for me.

We have finally found a functional medicine vet who can treat him. They say he can return to full health & live several more years, but I cannot afford the on going treatments on disability. Without them his life will be shorter, immobile and filled with pain.
