Oakley is a 6 year old German Shorthaired Pointer in Phoenix, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO).

I took Oakley home from the shelter at 9 weeks old. It was just over 6 years ago. I brought him home to my other pup that is now 9 years old, and they became good buddies. He was/is the most snuggly cuddly sweetheart of a pup. My fiancé and his girls absolutely love him and I can’t imagine our life without him.

Unfortunately, last October, he was running fast and took a hard turn around a corner and started limping. He tore his CCL ligament on his left leg. (Human ACL) After 6 months of healing, doing so much better, he managed to tear his other one and re-tore his left at the same time. He needs surgery on both knees to help stabilize and provide hope for his future. He has so much more life to live.

Oakley is a high-energy loving dog. He loves to play fetch and run around the backyard. He enjoys laying outside, rolled over on his back, looking like he is sunbathing! He enjoys every human he meets and just wants to jump and kiss everyone. He would also lay down on your lap if you sat down with him. He is such a lover.

I am currently trying to find a way to pay for these surgeries as they came as a surprise and very costly. Oakley has constantly been in and out of the vet for many medical reasons, including a costly surgery last year to remove a mass.
