Rafiki is a 6 month old Mix-Breed in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $2,000 for Surgery to Repair Leg Fracture.

My pet was introduced to our family at the same time as my new born was. Against everyone’s concerns and wishes I still got the dog because I always wanted one. My friend had just had some puppies and with the new baby. I thought it would be cute for them to grow up together. We were going to name him mufasa but we changed it last minute because Rafiki sounded more like a fitting name for him.

Right now he’s at Craig vet hospital. He staying there until I can get the money to get him out. He had to go in for his surgery. The break was too major to wait. It was a spiral fracture. He go the injury by playing with me outside at our dog park. I was holding the rope in the air. He was jumping and grabbing it. When he came down from trying to jump for the rope he landed on the leg wrong.

Rafiki is such a young and playful dog. We have a really old cat that he lets mess with him. He’s never ate any of mine or my 3 kids things. Surprisingly, also plays with the baby and the kids so well. He destroys and chew toy you give him and learned how to catch at the door so fast. He stays in his gate and doesn’t bark. He’s the best pet our family could ask for. We’re begging for help.

With his pet exam fees, X-rays, cast and medication. We used our rent 1700 to pay for the beginning of all his cost and treatments. Now we are trying to find a way to keep going. Trying to get loans and whatever we can do to outlast this storm.
