Ty is a 10-year-old Black Lab/ Boxer mix in Seabrook, NH, who needs $1,850 for ACL surgery.

Ty came into my life as a year old pup. His life started rough and I rescued him from an abuser. Without vivid details some scars can still be seen on his face. I gave him a second chance and we've been together for 9 years already! He is such a loyal, loveable and, protective boy. His cuddles under the covers are certainly the best.

Ty's best friend is our 9 month old male cat Griffin. They nap together, play and chase each other around our apartment. They can be caught snoozing on the couch or the bed, but definitely always together. Ty taught Griffin how to drink water, they even share the same dish! I even believe I now have a cat-dog thanks to Ty!

Ty is very very smart! He has a human like personality. He just recently found his voice and barks on command. He knows speak, sit, lay down, high and low fives, paw, switch and doubles! He is a very unique and loveable boy and has many years left in his happy dog life! Before his injury he still acts like a 5 years old pup. People are always surprised when we say he's 10!

Our day or injury started out like any other good day. Our apartment complex has a stone wall and grassy green area for dogs to go do their business. He was acting like his happy go lucky puppy self and went to jump onto the wall like most of his walks. Except this time he let out a high pitched screech and immediately sat down unable to bear weight on his left rear leg.

Like most others due to Covid finding steady employment has certainly been difficult. With rent and gas prices to get to work being so ridiculously high money has been tight. Then this unexpectedly happens with a total cost estimate of $4500!
