Olaf is a 9-year-old Great Pyrenees in San Antonio , TX, who needs $2,000 for Lung Surgery.

I got Olaf when he was 5 weeks old from a high school teacher whose dogs had puppies. I picked up the runt who was 1 of 2 solid one pups. It was love at first sight and I spent my own money to get him even though I didn't have much. He's traveled with me as I've moved around the country and has helped my rescue pup become less anxious and be able to function. He's so friendly pup and loving to all

Olaf constantly plays with his new little sister and helps our rescue pup to stay calm. He's recently been trying to teach him to play since the new pup wants to play with both of them. He steals my spouse's spot on the bed after they get up and just cuddles up to me until I wake up. He's always close to us and making sure we're OK. He nuzzles his face into mine when I'm upset and begs for pets.

He has so many silly things he does. He hates water and getting dirty so he refuses to go potty outside unless you push him outside! He'll pee super close to the door or under the gazebo so he doesn't get wet. He loves giving kisses where he puts his nose to mine. He grumbles and makes weird noises when he hears any noise! He never quite figured out howling so he has a very dorky extended bark.

He had heartworms a couple years ago and apparently it caused some damage to his lungs. He was having trouble breathing after the groomer so we took him to the ER. They suspect it's spontaneous pneumothorax, meaning an air sac burst and air is gathering around his lungs. He needs scans and surgery to permanently fix the issue and stay alive. He has a chest tube at the moment to release pressure.

He might be on the older side but he has so much life left in him! This is my baby and I can't lose him yet. Our pups don't know what to do since he's been in the ER and have been looking for him. It is very fixable but we can't afford the high costs for surgery or scans.
