Uno is a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever mix in Spokane , WA, who needs $2,000 for TOPL surgery and patella repair.

Uno is a waterdog at heart and cant resist the urge swim or play in a hose or sprinkler. He would swim until he drowned if you let him, crazy boy. But he always comes back when called.
Hes a barker, and a licker, and if he hasnt met you before he might follow you around the house nibbling your shoes to show them who's boss, but he is the absolute sweetest boy you'll ever meet. He just wants to be near his people. To please his people, smile with us and enjoy every minute of life just as it is.

Since his injury, he's been impeded fro many of his favorite pastimes entirely.
We cant let him play with the hose... there isn't a body of water that we can take him to without him having to climb... we cant even let the boy get excited to see us when we get home. At this point, some days he doesn't even want to. He just hurts too much.
I'm crying as I write all of this...
