Maui is a 1-year-old Labrador Retriever mix in Walhalla, SC, who needs $1,776 for surgery to repair a severe leg fracture.

We got Maui from a friend that wasn’t taking good care of him and we fell in love with him. The first few days where hard because he didn’t know how to react with our kids but after he got to know us he grew on us and got attached . We let one of our kids name the new dog in our family and at the time she loved the movie moana and she started to call the new dog Maui and that’s how he got his name and it stuck because he is strong and confident.
