Little Bear is an 11-year-old Pomchi in Maple Rapids, MI, who needs $1,500 for amputation of the right leg.

Little Bear has been with us for his entire life. He was born June 10, 2010. He was on of 7 and all his sibling went to their forever homes but no one seemed interested in him so he stayed. He is the best. He has been an emotional support for my son who just loves him. We have a step down into our kitchen and it is getting hard for him to walk

He sleeps with my son and loves to sleep in his crate as last ng as the door is open lol. He loves to play with his ball and loves the rope. He is a Barker for sure. He loves other dogs at least ones his size , and he don't care one way or another about cats we have one and he don't care. He likes other people and loves getting scratched under his neck.

His favorite hobby is to run full speed out into the yard to just look at the woods and bark at absolutely nothing but it's his favorite thing and playing with his ball. He likes to play in water but not keen on baths. When we play rope with him he jumps up to get it and will hang from it it's the funniest thing.

I am looking for help with a full amputation of his front right leg. He has a tumor that will kill him if not taken care of soon. His vet at Sheridan animal Hospital are the best and they recommend the full amputation. He has dental issues also but right now we need to get this leg off so we can have more time with him.

My husband and I only receive SSI and are on an extremely tight income and need help PLEASE He is our "boy dog" that's his nickname. We need our Boy dog please don't make us have to put him down before his time!
