Samwise is a 6 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback in Gilbert, AZ, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Surgery.

Sam is a 6 year old Rodehisian Ridgback/ Black Mouth Cur mix, we adopted him from a rescue shelter when he was a few months old and he has been attached to my hip since then.

He has been diagnosed with a torn CCL, and is in need of TPLO surgery on his right, rear leg. We have gone to our normal vet and they provided some resources as to some facilities for the procedure. I have found one I'd really like to use; the VCA surgery specialist hospital.

We have 2 other dogs and 3 cats that actually really love to play with Samwise. While he towers over everyone else, he is the sweetest dog I've come to know

I am currently employed full time, and I plan to contribute to this surgery as well, but I just can't do it all on my own. I'm hoping the animal loving community can help me provide a great life for Sam for many years to come.
