Luke is a 9 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Norfolk, VA, who needs $7,000 for Mandibular Fracture Repair.

Luke has been a part of our family since the very beginning of his life. My family had both of Luke's parents and I'd always say "I'd love to have a brown/tan dog one day" and years later there he was. A precious, mama's boy with the most lovely underbite. He has been in our lives for 9 years and counting. He was born in 2017, when I was still in high school, so he's been a part of EVERYTHING.

Luke was attacked by a larger dog leaving him with a broken mandible, which was detected by the vets of VEST, located in VB, Virginia. And they have referred us to go to VVC Short Pump (located in Henrico, VA) to the specialty vets. Because of the severity of the break and his age, this procedure is urgent and costs more than our family can afford.

Luke's favorite person would have to be his mama. We have been through it all together. Moving, marriage, me having children, and me going through loss. Luke's been my safe place through it all. Leading me to who his other best friends are, my daughters. He is so fascinated by them and loves all the rubs. He's with us through it all, rather it's a trip to the mailbox or a roadtrip to see family.

We are a military family living off one income. My husband is a E-3 airmen who works extremely hard to support us, but between three children, Luke, and ourselves it is impossible to come up with $7,000 for the procedure. We need our community more than ever.
