Superman is a 5-year-old Chihuhua Mix in Maple Shade, NJ, who needs $1,500 for Patella Luxation Orthopedic Surgery.

My dog’s name is Superman because he saves the day. I got him via a rescue that trains puppies to become service animals and I picked him. He came all the way up from Texas to New Jersey. We call him Man Man or Manny for short. He lives with me and my boyfriend who also helps financially with our own bills and Superman’s bills.

Superman is the zoomy master. Once he feels your energy he takes off zooming! He doesnt love dogs but he loves people. He naturally senses people sad or hurt and will go over there and rest his neck on people and lick the tears away. He loves going on long walks with my father aka his grandfather. He does get into the trash even though he is 5 years old!!

Like I said before my dog saves the day! Ever since i got him in my senior year of high school hes changed my life around. I got comfortable going out places with him by my side or in a shopping cart. He loves humping beds and blankets which cracks me up everytime! He also will whine and cry until you pick gim up. He doesnt like that you sit on the chair without him!!

My dog was diagnosed with a medial luxating patella grade 3/4 and a partial ACL tear by NorthStar Vets in Maple Shade, NJ. The doctors said he needs orthopedic surgery to repair what is fix as it cant be repaired on its own. So now Superman is crated 24/7 and cant do his daily zoomies. We have to carry him up and down the stairs and no activity to prevent further damage.

Im a college student and Im on leave from my job due to medical problems. I have no financial income other than dog walking and sittings. My boyfriend can pay for our bills and pay for medication at most for our dog. The vet bill is 4 paychecks for my boyfriend and I.
