Tux is a 9 year old Mix-Breed in Benton, AR, who needs $3,750 for ACL Repair.

Tux came into our lives 8 years ago. We were wanting to rescue a dog that could grow up with our daughter when she was a couple months old and he was only a year old. He was perfect because he was so cuddly and loving but still had plenty of energy! They have grown up together as inseparable best friends. He is now 9 years old and lives with his brother (Chewy) and his favorite little human.

When Tux gets the zoomies, he gets the zoomies HARD. He tore his ACL in his left leg a few months ago. We were recommended kennel rest and see how it goes after that. A few days ago, he tore his right ACL. SRVC (Shackleford Road Vet Clinic) recommended we do surgery on both ACLs at the same time to replace the ligament.

Tux is the most special boy! He sleeps in bed with my daughter every night and will take up the ENTIRE bed. He loves cuddles and kisses and knows no personal space but that's why we love him. He is a yeller and a talker too. He doesn't bark, he howls when we get home or he wants attention. He does little tappy taps when he gets excited!

As a single parent, I mostly live pay check to pay check right now and we don't want to put off the surgeries for Tux. We want him to have the best quality of life that he can and right now he isn't getting that.
