Spyro is a 1 year old Labrador Retriever in Clinton Township, MI, who needs $2,000 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

Spyro was definitely a surprise! My in-laws adopted two of his brothers in October of ‘23. We were visiting on New Years when my MIL mentioned that one of the litter never got adopted—the runt. He was 5 months old, weighed 10 lbs., and had Giardia and a tapeworm. We took him to the vet, got him on meds, put him on a good food, and loved him back to health! Now he is growing up with his brothers ❤️

Spyro began limping one day, so we took him to our vet (the Animal Clinic of Sterling Heights). We took x-rays which showed inflammation in his knee. We met with their orthopedic doctor, who said he requires surgery for a torn ACL, which was quoted about $3-3,500.

Spyro is the sweetest, silliest Labrador. He is a big baby, and leans on his Pomeranian sister for emotional support since she is the brave one. He LOVES going swimming, playing with his littermates, and sunbathing. If you’re having a snack, he will cuddle up to you with the biggest eyes and wait very patiently. If you take a bath, you will have company because he likes the taste of Dove soap 😅

Matt and I will put our own needs on the back burner, but there is no limit to what we will do for our dogs. We see them as our kids, and will do anything for them to live the happiest lives. Spyro may have been born the smallest but he also got the biggest heart of them all
