Milo is a 10-year-old Pekingese in Yellow Springs, OH, who needs $2,000 for Perineal Herniorrhaphy.

Milo came into my life right before I graduated high-school. He was 12 Oz and fit in the palm of my hand. We haven't been separated since. He keeps both me and my daughter company.

Milo is the ultimate cuddle dog. He curls into a ball and fits right into the perfect spot nestled up close. He loves walks and is known for his little prance. He loves to strut his stuff. When his mommy is away, he lays on her shoes or clothes awaiting her arrival.

Milo is part cat. If he was allowed, he would eat his sister coralines kitty food. He perfers it over his own. In his free time he enjoys doing yoga with his mommy. He also loves to take his little dinosaur toy on his walks.

Milo has a perineal hernia. It is a deep pocketed hernia. Over time, the hernia will expand and cause further issues on his heath. Surgery is the only treatment for a hernia. His hernia is further along than expected, resulting in him needing a specialist to do the procedure. He is seen at bigger road vet in Kettering and we plan to get his surgery at Medvet in Dayton, ohio.

Milo's hernia can only be fixed through surgery. His surgery cost is an unexpected total that I cannot afford. I am a single mother who works part time and attends college full time. Milo has been with me through the hardest times and been with my daughter all of her life.
