Teemo is a 4 month old Maltese in Porterranch, CA, who needs $7,000 for Orthopedic Surgery.

Teemo, my 5-month-old Maltipoo, is my only pet and has been with me since he was a tiny puppy. I named him after a vibrant character to match his spunky, joyful soul. Since my unexpected layoff on February 1st, we have faced a difficult living situation, but my top priority remains his recovery and well-being during this medical crisis.

Teemo suffered an emergency lateral humeral condylar fracture on February 11th. He underwent immediate surgery at Kinder4Rescue Low Cost Pet Clinic to stabilize the bone with pins. Seeing my vibrant puppy in such pain broke my heart, and despite my recent layoff, I used CareCredit to ensure he didn't suffer. This acute injury now carries a $7,000 debt that I am desperate to resolve for his future.

Teemo is a vibrant, "spunky" puppy who brought joy into my life during a difficult transition. He is a "talker" who loves interacting with everyone he meets, and his favorite activity is playing with his toys. What makes our bond so strong is his resilience; even while recovering from a major injury, his joyful spirit hasn't wavered. He isn't just a pet; he is my constant, spirited companion.

I was laid off on February 1st leaving me with no income just days before this emergency. To save Teemo I placed $7000 in costs on CareCredit.This debt is overwhelming while I am job hunting. Seeing Teemo healthy again means the world to me and your help is true lifeline
