Tazi Jay is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Council Bluffs, IA, who needs $2,000 for Right TPLO and MPL Stabilization and Bloodwork.

In May of 2024, I lost my best buddy, Chewbert, to CHF. He was rescued from the street and he made it 4 years with a bad heart. When he passed, I was so heartbroken and depressed. I found Tazi on Midlands Animal shelter and adopted him!! We've been together for a year now!! I love him so much. He's my best buddy. I spend a lot of my time with Tazi. He had lost his person before me. We're family

Tazi hurt his right back leg by jumping off the bed and landing at an odd angle. He's on pain meds and has had X-rays done. I took him to Sirius Veterinary Orthopedic Center and they said he needs surgery. His knee is moving and hurt his tendon. Their estimate is just under $5000. I've applied at several places that help with this expense but have not heard anything as of yet.

I love Tazi Jay so much. We both had a lose and helped each other heal. I've been through some personal stuff in the last year that he helped me get through. My favorite is snuggling up at night, he sleeps on the bed with me. I love seeing his joy when he gets a new toy to chew on!! He's very special to me. Tazi Jay is also an ESA. He's got the biggest brown eyes and a very happy smile!!

I did not expect this to happen. A simple fall and he needs surgery. I live on social security and work 20 hours weekly to cover expenses. Social security only pays the rent. I'm trying to get $500 together to help my baby boy get his leg fixed. He comes first
