ODY is a 2-year-old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix in Aurora, CO, who needs $1,800 for an MRI and possible surgery.

Ody came into my life at a very difficult time and saved me. I was taking care of my father while he was dying of cancer and was very depressed. My friend had called and said she had this puppy and could not keep him any longer. I didnt care what kind he was I just knew that a puppy would lift my spirits. My father became very found of him also and in my opinion helped to take away some of the pain my father was experiencing. Ody and I have not been apart since the day we met. He goes everywhere I go, to the store, work, etc. He lives to go places. I call him my go go dog. He is the smartest dog I've ever had and he understands to the point that it's uncanny at times.
