Salvador Doggie is a 7 year old Labrador Retriever in Everett, WA, who needs $3,200 for TPLO Surgery.

Salvador was a rescue puppy coming from Texas. Being abandoned in a dump with his brothers must have been a wonderful life to a puppy, but we thought it better to live in a home. He has been with us since just before he was 1 years old and is now such a big part of our lives that we can't imagine him suffering through an injury.

Salvador loves to play fetch and when he was younger he discovered he could jump up and down from our raised garden in the backyard. I didn't think anything of this as he had so much fun doing it. But this last time around, something landed wrong and you could see the change in him. He has not been able to fully run since then and when he tries you can see the sadness

Salvador is special because he is such a lovely mix of breeds that make him love everyone and everyone love him. He is sweet and cuddly, but also a crazy dog that loves to run around and be chased, or chase a ball, or just running around for the sake of running. He makes people smile, he warms hearts, and he spreads the feeling of being a mischievous child to you when he gets in that play stance

This is hard, I always want people to think I'm out crushing it as a freelancer. But, this year brought on significant hardships. I am struggling to make ends meet even for just food for myself. This cost for the surgery will break me, and not getting it is not an option.
