Luka is a 10 month old Boxer in Knoxville, TN, who needs $2,000 for Intensive Care.

Luka was rescued from Young Williams Animal Center when he was 2 months old. Over the last 7 months, we have learned he loves playing outside with his older brother Ruka, going for walks on the Greenway, and taking trips to extended family in other states. His favorite activity is giving hugs and kisses to everyone he meets.

Luka had 3 surgeries within the last 3 weeks. The first surgery was for an obstruction due to a Kong toy, 2nd one was due to PO complications. His last surgery was due to an obstruction, possibly a remnant of a Kong toy missed in his first surgery. His intestines were wrapped around his spleen, requiring a splenectomy. He is currently in the ICU at UTK Vet & might be transferred to critical care.

Luka is a very loving and sweet boy. He has always been one to smell everyone he meets when we go on our walks and wag his tail like they are now family. He's been introduced to our family, and they all just LOVE his gentleness and caring side, whether he introduces himself to you with endless kisses or a jump for a hug. There's always a smile on people's faces when Luka walks in the room.

I am a FT dental student and have pulled from my stocks +401k to pay for his other surgeries. We greatly received $795 from family/friends; however, with this new surgery, we have no additional funds to pay for this current visit. We just want our baby so we can be complete.
