Mike is a 3 year old Dachshund in Bartlesville, OK, who needs $2,000 for Acupuncture.

Mike came into our lives after I saw him on a rescue page. He had survived abandonment, starvation, and a broken jaw as a puppy. Now 4yo, he's playful, ornery, and full of love- named after Prison Mike from The Office. He's gentle with our toddler Annie, best friends with his dog brother Rowen, and brings so much joy and humor to our home. Mike fills our days with laughter, personality, and love.

Sadly, Mike was recently diagnosed with IVDD and has lost feeling and use of his back legs. We're beginning acupuncture to help with pain and mobility, but surgery could give him the best chance to walk again. We're still searching for a surgeon and exploring every option. Watching him struggle has been heartbreaking. We're committed to his care and deeply grateful for any support.

Mike is our silly, energetic, and ornery 4-year-old dachshund. He “talks” with grunts and whines, loves belly rubs and squeaky toys, and makes a one-of-a-kind grinning face when he's feeling spunky. He’s best friends with his dog brother Rowen and toddler sister Annie, who giggles “Mike, Mike, Mike!” while tossing him balls. He’s playful, gentle, and so loved.

Our family recently faced two major, unexpected expenses that used up our savings. Now, with Mike needing care, we’re struggling to cover the costs. He’s such a special part of our lives, and getting him healthy again would mean the world to us.
