About this campaign

Our beloved Samson came into our lives 6 months after our rescue, Mowgli, died from cancer. We said we would never get another dog because we were devastated. My.husband had be secretly looking at Boerboel pups because he loves the breed.

He had shown me a pic of Sammy at 11 weeks and I fell in love. We drove from Atlanta, Ga to Christiana, PA to get him from the breeder. That's was a trip.

The drive back from PA to Ga:
Sammy was car sick as soon as he had gotten in the car. He starting vomiting and popping. We had to pullover several times to clean him and the crate. We stopped at a hotel on our way back. My husband had to teach Sammy how to go up/ down the steps. I gave him a bath in the hotel tub and Sammy was running all over the room. It was truly a task. However we made it home

We are healthcare workers treating Covid+ patients in skilled nursing facilities. The cost of his surgery total is 4,000 per leg. We have been able to come up with half for one leg . We want Sammy to be pain free and back to his normal self.

Sammy is 3 yrs and 8 months old healthy and strong weighing 175#. We started noticing a limp about a month ago after he had returned from daycare. It got progressively worst. He was not able walk up steps anymore. I took him to the ER for xrays and that's when they told us he had tore both ACL in his hind legs. They referred us to a Northlake Vet Surgery located at 935 Montreal Rd Clarkston, Ga

Sammy s such a pleasure to have. His personality is funny. He's stubborn, loving and is a velcro dog. He follows us everywhere and he sleeps in is bed, which is located at the foot of our bed. His infamous trait is that he knows how to open doors using the handle. When I took him to the ER Vet. I couldn't go in, as I'm sitting in my car, I see Sammy at the door. He had opened the exam room door!
