Papi is a 8-year-old Golden Retriever in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $4,500 for IMPA.

Papi was a present from my husband as a first baby to the family, he was the reason to move to a bigger house (from a tiny fluffy puppy he became a 60 pounds boy by 6 month). He was the reason to switch all family vacation from hotels to outdoors. He was the reason to come back home after a long day at work until this Friday, when suddenly stopped move his legs, just laying down and crying.

There was nothing I did without him for the past 8 years! He is a best friend, an oldest kid and a best emotional support that ever existed! He is a part of the family and most of the decisions and destinations to go were chosen mostly to have a good environment and happy time for the fluffy friend we got.

Due to a layoff situation this is most unexpected and super expensive. The final amount is way higher than $5000 we are hoping for, and no one knows what happened to him. We are looking at really high amount to discover and cure this, please help me to help my baby!

Papi is really active dog, until the last day, he ran and hiked with me. Even driving to Cali and Utah just for him to go to the beach on the monthly basis was my way to show him my love. I remember most of the time as a healthiest doggy around. He is being treated at Veterinary Emergency And Critical Care by Dr. Koroghli, DVM.

You can't be a minute sad because he feels you right away, every second of his " mommy's " mood he'll come over and lick you to death, shaking his tail and bringing his toys to make you feel better. He will destroy the whole house running around happy to show you the appreciation of living and loving you!!!
