Teddy is a 7 month old Mix-Breed in Imlay City, MI, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Teddy was one of 6 puppies from a litter that my parent's dogs had unexpectedly, (and accidentally). Because I was so involved with the process in helping the puppies from birth through finding their forever homes, I decided to keep one for my own. I named him Teddy because he looked like a real stuffed Teddy bear! Teddy continues to live with me at my parents house and while we house-hunt.

On Friday, October 25th I was walking Teddy and my parents dog, Duke and in an attempt to unravel their leashes so I had a better grip, Teddy got lose, and was hit by a car. Teddy was immediately rushed to the vet, where he had X-rays and various tests, which concluded that Teddy broke his femur on his back right leg. Teddy has a surgery scheduled on 10/29/24 at Animal Surgical Center of Michigan.

Teddy is a sweet lovable little puppy. He loves playing with his parents, Mack and Duke. Teddy is really great at playing fetch, he always brings the toy back to me! Teddy is also very similar to his mom, in regards to the special gift they have to pick up on peoples and emotions and comforts people when they need it most.

As one can imagine, this is an expected event. And being told Teddys surgery will cost $5,000, and that amount is due at the time of surgery, has left me feeling absolutely helpless. Because of my limited income and debt that I prioritized, I cannot afford Teddys surgery.
