Rolfe is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Covington, KY, who needs $5,800 for TPLO surgery.

I took Rolfe in at 14 weeks from an irresponsible pet owner whose dogs had an “unexpected litter” and he’s been with me for 4 years. Rolfe is my heart and soul and gave me a reason to get up every morning when I was really struggling with PTSD. I also have Rolfe’s litter mate Bo, that my brother took in at the same time for the same reason, but my brother is currently stationed on base in Alaska.

Rolfe fully tore his CCL in his left hind leg and significantly partially tore the CCL in his right hind leg earlier this year. I was able to get him TPLO surgery for his left leg back in may, but less than 4 mnths later Rolfe has developed an awful cracking in his right leg and it is clear he already needs his next TPLO. I’ve only been able to put together half the cost of his next surgery so far

Rolfe is such a strong willed, independent and happy dog. He isn’t letting his leg problems stop him from being true to himself! Rolfe is sweet and gentle as a butterfly, great with kids and loves all people and other creatures. Rolfe is so well loved by everybody who meets him and is known as the gentle giant of the neighborhood. He’s even featured in the Dogs of Covington Ky 2025 calendar!

Rolfe just had $5800 TPLO surgery back in may and 4 months later needs it again for the other back leg. I’m a full time social worker for a non profit and am pinching every penny I can. But there hasn’t been enough time between surgeries to put together another $5800
