Sur is a 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog in Yonkers, NY, who needs $2,000 for an MRI.

During my time as a naval seabee, I got Sur, an Australian cattle dog, from a farm in Santa Clarita, CA in 2015. The name "Sur" was derived from the beautiful coastal Big Sur that lines California's Central Coast. Sur was originally registered as an emotional support animal to help with my depression. Once I finished my service in the Navy, we moved to New York so that I could pursue a degree.

Sur is a very active, intelligent dog who enjoys running and playing ball. He is full of personality and always finds a way to entertain himself when he's bored. For instance, he would drop the ball down the stairs only to chase after it and then do it over again. He also loves to include the entire family in his games by giving the ball to everyone to play and will not take "no" for answer.

As a veteran who just finished serving in the Navy, I am now back in college as a full time undergrad. I currently do not have the funds to pay for all the veterinary care/treatment that Sur needs to get back on his feet. Please donate to help Sur on his road to recovery.

On 9/12/2020, Sur was running in the backyard when he suddenly fell and yelped in pain while losing the ability to walk on his hind legs. There were no signs of any accident/trauma when this occurred so it was difficult to understand how this could happen to a perfectly healthy dog. Soon after, he was incontinent and diagnosed with a high velocity, low volume disk extrusion on his T12-T13.

Sur is more than just pet to me; he is my best friend who I traveled across the country with as we ventured on hikes and runs together. More importantly, he is family who never fails to show his unconditional love and always make me smile. He is protective of me just as I am of him. This is why I would do anything in my power to help him get back on his feet and be there when he needs me most.
