Monroe is a 3.5-year-old French Bulldog in Minot, ND, who needs $2,000 for IVDD Surgery.

Monroe is a 3 1/2 year old frenchie. He has been with me and my three kids since he was nine weeks old. He is the best dog. He is so laid-back just loves to chill. He does get the zoomie at night right before bed which is the best. However, I may never see him do the zoomie again which breaks my heart. When we first got him, I honestly didn’t know if he knew he had a voice. It took him two weeks.

Monroe loves to sleep in my bed where he nudges his face to get under the blankets and sleeps at the foot of the bed. That is his absolute favorite spot. Since his surgery he’s had to sleep in a crate so I know for the both of us it has been hard.

Monroe loves to meet new people. He is always curious about everyone he comes into contact with. He loves go on walks. He loves to go to the dog park. One of his favorite spots in the house is sitting in front of the window when the sun is shining through.

About three weeks ago, we got home and Monroe was panting uncontrollably just sitting down resting. His heart was racing and he was shaking. I called the emergency vet and he thought it was a pinched nerve. the next morning we woke up in Monroe couldn’t walk so I rushed him to the vet. There he was diagnosed with IVDD I had to get him to Minneapolis which is eight hours away for emergency surgery

I was quoted that the surgery would range anywhere from $8000-$20,000. Over the last seven years it has been financially draining. While going through a very long drawn out divorce, I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37.
