Pepper is a 2-year-old Cocker spaniel in Seven Valleys, PA, who needs $2,000 for chronic yeast ear infections.

I got my boy over a year ago now rescue from a friend. He was 8 months old at the time. Now just over 2. He's one of the best dogs I have ever had. Poor thing has been suffering for months now with chronic ear issues and if not cured medication wise he could be facing ear canal removal surgery. And I can't afford that with no pet insurance that will take him now and me on limited disability.

He's a very well loved little boy. Spends his days with me and his newly adopted little sister who he loves to wrestle with and chase around the yard. He's a very loving playful baby boy who loves to play u Fetch with me all day or he's just happy to be curled up in someone lap getting hugs and kisses.

Fixed disability income for me and I have maxed out the care credit I did have as my method to help with his vet bills. With him goin back weekly to every two weeks the bills are adding up faster than I can pay down on.

He's been on goin for a few months now with chronic ear issues that we are trying to get maintained but it's been a battle because the prior vet we had kept misdiagnosing him and wasn't treating him the way he needed to be. So damage was getting worse til we got tired of no improvement and got a second opinion that changed our lives around.

He is a very bright dog who listens and learns better than any other dog I have ever known. He's learned tricks and words I have never been so lucky to see in other dogs I had growing up. He loves to get attention from all people he sees and he never has a problem with other dogs. He always greets everyone with a happy stubby tail and a wiggly butt.
