Sarge is a 1-year-old English Bulldog in Clemmons, NC, who needs $1,750 for Airway Surgery.

Sarge was abandoned by his family after being neglected for his first year of life. He was at risk of euthanasia at the humane society so we have been fostering him and getting him well. He has battled kennel cough, ringworm, tapeworms, and now is in need of airway surgery to improve his quality of life. He cannot breathe through his nose so he tires very easily and sleeps mostly standing up.

Currently Sarge is gated off in the hall but goes on many walks a day. He also loves hanging out in the shade on the porch. He doesn’t quite known how to play yet but he is slowly coming alive. He loves to be scratched and pet and so far hasn’t met a human he doesn’t like. We let him socialize for brief periods with our other dog and I can tell he’s starting to want to play with her.

Sarge is just now starting to show his personality. He is very chill and will simply stare a hole through you when he needs something. When he runs or attempts to play with our other dog he does the cutest little pounces. He likes to hop erratically and swipe with his paws. He loves to follow me around and is going to make the best ‘best friend’ one day!

Currently Sarge is being treated by 2 veterinary practices. The humane society has treated his ringworm, tape worms, and kennel cough; however, they are not financially able to get him the airway surgery he so desperately needs. We have gotten an estimate at a local vet and are hoping to be able to offer it for him as soon as financially possible.

Sarge has had a rough start. He wasn’t given a chance by his previous owner and I can tell he just wants to love and be loved. This surgery will finally give him the ability to sleep well and have the energy to learn how to be a dog!
