Milo is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Bondurant, IA, who needs $1,500 for Hemilaminectomy.

We adopted Milo from the rescue AHeinz57 in 2018. He joined two older brothers and mom and dad. He is such a cute and smart dog. After our youngest son moved out for college Milo was our baby and became our confidant. He walks us out as we go to work and is wagging his tail waiting for hugs and kisses when we get back. He loves walks and pulls us around to see all the neighbor dogs.

Milo jumped off the deck to go play with the neighbor dog and hurt himself. The next day we noticed Milo was not acting right. He was walking gingerly and just wasn't acting like himself. He got worse to where he couldn't stand on his back legs. We rushed him to Blue Pearl Emergency Vet Hospital. They examined him did x-rays and CT scan and they said he needed to have a hemilaminectomy.

Milo is definitely a momma's boy. Wherever mom is at is where you will find him. He loves to snuggle with her and he sleeps in the bed with her, under the covers, right next to her. He also likes to steal people's spots. If you are sitting on the couch and leave you will find Milo has jumped up and stolen your spot. When you get back he just kind of looks at you like, sorry it is my spot now.

We had a very difficult decision. Time was not on our side, we had to make a decision to perform a $10,000 surgery or put him down. We were not ready to let him go and the prognosis was good for him to be okay after the surgery. We hope to enjoy him for years to come!
