Pancho Villa is a 5-year-old Rottweiler in Dearborn, MI, who needs $1,900 for TPLO surgery.

Pancho came to us from a cousin, when we visited, and Pancho was only about 3-4 weeks old, he chose us, he crawled up to my son and laid in his lap for a long time. We brought him home when he was about six or seven weeks old. He right away became a huge part of our family! Even my dad took to him quickly. Now he is a momma's boy, but is very, very protective of the kids.

Pancho was NOT suppose to sleep on the couch, but that is usually where he sleeps at night until right before the kids get up for school, then he waits for them outside their doors. He will at times sleep in dad's room too. He loves us all in his own way! He loves to play fetch with his soccer ball and is not a fan of UPS , FedEx, Mail people.

Pancho is special to us in so many ways. He is loving, gentle when need to be, exciting to play with and protective of us all. He always makes us laugh as he acts like a big cat and chases around the cats laser, we even take him outside with a flashlight at night and he would run around the yard chasing the light.

Last year, almost a year to the date, Pancho tore his CCL (Cranial Cruciate Ligament), he had surgery on his left leg and has been doing great until, the other day, October 27, 2021. He took off after a squirrel in the yard, yelped very loud and began limping. He is now unable to put any weight on the leg and limps around, we have to keep him quiet until his TPLO surgery on the right leg.

Unfortunately, we had just paid off his last surgery from last year, and do not have a built up emergency fund as of yet for this next surgery! Between Covid and everything else happening in this world, things have been quite up and down. I can't imagine this house w/o Panch
