Nugget is a 8-month-old Maltishon (Maltese and Bishon) in Canonsburg , PA, who needs $1,500 for Orthopedic Surgery.

Hello my name is Jerrica and I’m desperately trying to raise funding to take my puppy (Nugget) to the local emergency vet. Nugget’s back paw was accidentally stepped on while my husband was doing dishes. Nugget loves to lay by our feet and this time my husband was not prepared for him to be there. He has not been able to stand and has been crying in pain. Please anything will help.

We adopted Nugget 4 months ago. A beautiful healthy baby boy in need of a home. We have a two and four year old who absolutely adore him. We are in the middle of moving that’s why we don’t have the extra funding to pay for a large vet bill. Please anything will help. We just want to get our little man some help. It’s so terrible having to watch him suffer.

Nugget is very special to our family. He makes our family feel complete. The fact that he’s hurt and we can’t fix it is absolutely killing us. Please help our baby get some vet care and relieve the pain that he is feeling. He brings so much joy into our lives and all we want to do is help him. This could have happened at a worse time!!

Nugget has never need any kind of medical attention. He was a happy, active, heathy puppy before this accident. He’s only needed to go to the vet for vaccines and well checks. This is 100% unexpected. He has not been able to stand or put any weight on his leg. Not even able to use the bathroom. I have been spoon feeding him for the last 24 hours.

We have two toddlers and are in the middle of moving so we have zero extra funding for pet care. I can’t believe this happened the exact weekend that we are due to relocate.
