Micco is a 9 year old German Shepherd Dog in Shelton, WA, who needs $2,000 for Exploratory Surgery.

Micco came into our lives 9 years ago. I had dogs before so I knee there was a lot for Micco to learn. Looking back he is the one who taught me so much. When I think of Micco the words that come to mind are power, intelligence and nerves of steel. So many people wanted us to breed him but we couldn't because he had hip and elbow dysplasia. He went everywhere with me including work.

Micco had an obstruction that needed immediate surgery. We got him his surgery, a week later he developed ileus where his stomach and intestines weren't working. He was unable to keep any food down. Now he is in need of an exploratory surgery.

Micco loves kids and other dogs. He does over 15 tricks. He went through training with someone who trains k9 police dogs. He does basic and advanced commands.

I have drained our funds trying to save Micco's life. We have pet insurance but it is also reached its limit. We have also reached out to friends and family for help. We are unable to pay for the last of what we owe and were turned down by care credit.
