Mufassa is a 2 year old Labrador Retriever in Canby, OR, who needs $2,000 for Diagnosis and Treatment of Injuries.

Mufassa was a tiny pup, who already had a BIG name! We had previously lost our beloved dog, Nala, to cancer, and were looking for another beautiful soul to add to our family. My son immediately bonded with the little dude, and finding out his name was Mufassa just seemed like an added sign that he was meant to be with us. And, man, did he grow into his name- a dog's body, with a lion's soul!

We were in the mountains, one of our favorite places to hike. The dogs were running in and out of site, alternately exploring, climbing, and checking on us. Suddenly, Mufassa limped into site, and laid at my feet. He'd either fallen, or encountered another animal, but one of his shoulder blades was sticking up at an odd angle, he had cuts on his paws, and screed if I tried to touch him anywhere.

Mufassa absolutely loves to run, jump, and be chased by other dogs. He is extremely athletic, adventurous, and his favorite game is keepaway. With his front leg currently either broken or out of socket, he is unable to do any of those things, and mobing at all causes extreme pain. My biggest hope is to get him the treatment he needs to continue to be mobile, happy, and enjoy a full life.

As a homeschooling single parent fam, we mostly love the challenge of living creatively, finding non-monetary ways to live and contribute to our society. However, muffasa's entire quality of life will be impacted if we don't find a way to pay for this unforseen need.
